Blimey.  What do you do with them all Biscombe?  MAke passata, freeze them or just eat them?

[Biscombe]

All of the above!!  ;) ;)

My favourire two hybrids are LA Roma ( not Roma) has 7 times the yeild of the old Roma.
Big Beef, ( not the non hybrid one I have seen advertised), it has very large round blemish free toms with a superb flavour and heavy yeild.
Then I grow tons of heirloom types.

Sungold are great, the only F1 I will grow but have loads of varieties, probably as many as Biscombe!

I second this - excellent variety. If you want a superb cherry tom. this is the business. The only complaint (and it's not really a complaint) is that the skin is a tad on the thick side. I quite like tom. skins so it's not a problem for me.

I have a Whippersnapper, small trailing pinkish... great for baskets and tubs..

Where did you get that from Saddad?  Sounds interesting.

"Sweet Million" are delicious. I grew some in pots on a sunny patio at home (fed on non-organic tomato food) and some others in the ground on my allotment (completely organic, fed occasionally with seaweed) - I have to say the non-organic ones just had the edge for flavour. Oops not quite the right result...  :-[
