If they are to be grown outside can you still grow inside?

My marmande are mostly in the 'house.....with space at a premium (6x4) I prioritise and they're top of the list. Also grow them outdoors & I've really not noticed a difference in taste - the 'house ones harvest before the outdoor ones.

Lucky old you! It's just the old adage -
"Tomato Marmande Seeds
The 'Mediterranean Tomato'!
Continental outdoor variety. Large, irregular fruits with firm flesh and few seeds. Distinctive flavour. Not recommended for growing under glass."
But
Super
Marmande seems to be more versatile.

Yes.
What is this about Marmande?-It`s a devil to get ripe outdoors and there are better varieties both outside and indoors.but I still grow one or two just in case ;D

I've had no probs whatsoever, with pollination or anything else....as I wrote before, those outside ripen slower than those in the house...natch considering the temps, but always get loads, in or out. They retain a good flavour when frozen too.
