The package was a joy to receive, the jewel colours were spectacular! However, you make a point of saying that the tomatoes will be ripe and ready to eat. Well, I’m afraid most of mine were overripe and within 24 hours three were mouldy and were thrown away. You may want to consider packing some that are unripe so that the recipient can have the pleasure of watching them ripen on the kitchen window sill. I live alone and would have appreciated being able to stagger using the tomatoes. The large and small peppers were wonderful and kept beautifully in the fridge and some were eaten raw, the others cooked. All in all, a mixed bag!
