The only ones that were any good are the ones I've had for years, and I haven't been able to find any more of them. The big self-watering planters are made by Stewarts, but mine came from a website called Shrubs.co.uk. I like them, they are very good - definitely "fit for purpose"!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-9114697829444169872013-08-25T09:26:12.430+01:002013-08-25T09:26:12.430+01:00I'm getting a good amount of tomatoes ripening...I'm getting a good amount of tomatoes ripening now, enough to share with my mum and dad which I like to do. Can you please let me know where the self watering containers came from. I know they were a gift from your mother in law, but do you happen to know where she got them from? Also, did you ever find any sturdy supports, I know you were trying a couple out? The growbags, cut in half and turned on their ends, have worked really well for me this year. I must do a post soon about my tomato findings this year.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-25617012347583683362013-08-24T23:06:32.918+01:002013-08-24T23:06:32.918+01:00Yum yum yum, tomato tart looks so lovely.

Spread some pesto over the base; add some sliced tomato; add some grated Parmesan; bake until the pastry is done.
