Roma F1

In the North

Outside on the plot

Heavy crop this year with some 4" beauties. Not the best for flavour off the plant but prolific and dry very well with a sweet and intense flavour once dried.

Mortgage Lifter big, beef outdoor tomato Heritage variety. Lovely flavour and loads of juice
Costoluto big orange jobs, lovely and sweet. Good for breakfast and in soups and stews

San Marzano hold their shape well for grilling. Haven't bottled any yet

Marmande big and juicy

North

garden peach

beautiful yellow toms, sweet as plums and easy to grow.
(shall be sharing seed later )

grew ours outside in a variety of situations and it did well in all and is still cropping and making flowers!

best point? when deluge of rain followed a long drought.....this was the only variety that didn't split.


we're south by the way

I've noticed that the Tigerellas have been the first to split

Passata tomatoes

Bog standard San Marzanos, outside in Chilterns (south, but 140m above sea level). Going mad at moment, so far no sign of blight.

Bit of blossom end rot but that is expected with this variety, but they make up for it by being the perfect tomato sauce type.

Yellow passata tomatoes - Cream Sausage. Lovely colour, makes for fun sauces, is a bush tomato (unlike the SM which is cordon) and so all you have to do is occasionally tie it up when the fruit gets too heavy! Again it's happy outdoors. Was last to get blight last year (against Gartenperle and Sungella).

moonbells

'Gardener's Delight' - Supersweet Irish Version from 'Real seeds'.... No splitting, no blight....wonderful taste, great for kids but they aren't big enough to cook with
South

ooooh! save us some seeds Dom?
(and I can take those off my order for next season )

Marmandee and Ild did really well outside as did Becs Tigrellas My weird and whacky Japanese Black Triefiel were crap.. , but the Pinky ones (lost that label) were superb!!

All the ones in the PT got blight....

South..East.. Southish I think....

Most of my heritage ones did crap - German red strawberry only produced 1 fruit - looked great though.

The tigerellas DelPet sent did really well inside and out.

The North

Mine are doing ok but not that prolific. Ooop t'north Like em though and they're good grilled cos they're flat, when halved, and behave themselves under the grill

Yellow ones that Lilo sent me.

Later ...

first crop and taste of black cherry tomatoes off the plot this morning. COR! Another definite for next year

please excuse me.......................BUT...................................WEY HEY WOOPDIDOO CONGRATS AND WIBBLE WOBBLE BEETROOT............................................I MADE IT INTO THE TOP SECTION................ner ner ner ner

Del are you in the right section??? You are talking beetroot and we are in TOMATOES

Tornado

Good healthy plants, sweet not overly big fruit and the only variety on our plots to survive the blight (3 people incl me grew it) and still be fruiting.
