Topic: which tomato varieties will you growing this season?

[euronerd]

Tigerella, urbikany, ailsa craig and betalux; the first three because I already had the
seed from last year and the last for no better reason than I haven't tried it before. I
also, on impulse, bought from Poundland something called sweetie. Being less than
optimistic I shoved all 50 - odd seeds in, and now every single one is romping away. I can't bear to chuck any away so I'm going to be short of room this year  ::)

Well they say that tomatoes are good for stopping you getting sunburn. Lets hope for a good summer ;D

If you really end up with too many, I'm sure you can give them away to fellow plotholders or on freecycle.

They are only good for sunburn because trying to grow them outside damns us to a bad (wet) summer... they don't protect you when you go to the Med do they...  ;D

No i don't mean you sit in the shade! It's the red pigment, can remember what it's called, really does help but you have to eat lots :)

Well that's a real hardship... does that mean the white/yellow/green ones don't work??  ;D
