Topic: Tomatoes: What variety are you growing?

[Robert_Brenchley]

I'm growing nadja, Clear Pink Early, Prima, Mobil, korall, Taxi, Black Seaman, Stupice and Buckbee New 50 days, all courtesy of Ruud. I've got thriving young plants of every variety, so I can confidently say I'm growing them all now.

Anyone grown Cyril's Choice before? Very peculiar looking plants :o

Does it have pototo-like leaves mt? Some of my black ones do too!

[Merry Tiller]

It's not the leaves as such it's the overall shape of the plant, very stocky with short thick branches, it's built like a bull terrier if you know what I mean ???

I'll try & post some photos if I remember

Carloso - I did Green sausage one year, they were nice !

I just noticed that Robert Brenchley mentions that he is growing Stupice. I am also. Does anyone have any feedback on this tomato? As far as I understand it will crop outdoors.

Any info?

That's what I've been told as well, but I haven't grown any of these before. We'll see how they do.

OK, heres our list- albeit a lot smaller than most of you guys!!

Purple Calabash
Gartenperle
Sun Ray Gold
Gardeners Delight
Yellow Current
Alisa Craig

After reading this thread, I'm going to have to expand the tomato operation next year!!

We have seven varieties this year:

Gardeners Delight (of course)
Ailsa Craig (good old fashioned favourite)
Tigerella (family favourite :) )

and for cooking, freezing, and indeed for eating in salads ...
Principe Borghese
Cuor di Bue
Astro F1
Follia F1

We've got a dozen seedlings of each, so allowing for losses, say 70 plants in total.  That's a LOT of Tommy R Toes. :o

My desert island choice would have to be Tigerella

Many of mine were from Ruud too, thank you Ruud, they are all growing merrily and I can't wait to see the results.

Gosh, I am only growing Gardeners Delight - is it too late to sow the gartenperle seed I got as a freebie with a magazine?

[saddad]

Watch that green sausage mate, it is very laid back, definitely horizontal at times so they can get slugged. Stupice is from Eastern Europe, Czech/Hungary way and so is used to much hotter summers, I would probably keep it under glass or in a tunnel!
You'd probably get a crop from pearl if you sowed her now but watch out for blight, if growing outdoors, at the end of August.
Collectively that is one hell of a lot of Tomatoes!

I am growing quite a few varieties this year. I have previously only grown 2 varieties...but I have been bitten by the tomato bug! My picks for 2006 are:

Gardeners Delight
Gartenperle
Ildi
Balconi Red
Ozark Pink
Gregoris Altai
Principe Borghese
Siletz
Bellstar
Tiny Tim
Micro Tom
Sweet Olive
Alaskan Fancy

Many Thanks also to Ruud, who provided me with some of the varieties on the list.

We all seem to be growing so many tomatoes...perhaps in a couple of months we should start another thread...."Tomato Recipes"!

Happy Gardening!
