Allmine grown outside. Just going red at the moment is gartenperle. keep looking at green grape on the basis that it doesn't have to do much in terms of colour change but still hard as a rock. Hoping to beat the blight this year.

Sungold again, closely followed by Rosada and Suncherry, with Purple Ukraine a few days later. Yum yum :)

With BR Yellow Currant you won't have a choice.... the fruit split and self seed everywhere... in the mid 90's I had a plant with over 2000 fruit on it... I got fed up after counting 200 trusses of @10... and it was still fruiting on bonfire night!!

I find this thread very heartening. I've never had tomatoes before late summer, and sometimes online you see people posting pictures with captions like 'look at this for my dinner - a ton of juicy ripe tomatoes and it's only February! Yummy lucky me!'

There seems to be a lot of variety in the times when different people's tomatoes ripen.

Still nothing remotely coloured here. Watching the rain very carefully. Been very dry so still hoping for something. Not even Sungold is putting in an appearance. I have put a truss in a plastic bag with a ripe tomato with a view to giving it the hint.

nice to know do you generally pinch out side shoots or let them grow as bush types, and yes out of the three we got off of the plant two were split.

We had our first 2 Shirley yesterday with our sandwiches at the plot.

BR yellow Currant... you can try nipping it out... but it will win... one got to over 6'cube... :o

Never seen such late ripening - INDOORS. And tough skins!!

'Cherry' type. ROSADA - certainly good.

Small standard. NECTAR always a winner.

Standard. STUPICE is recommended. Potato leafed.

Balconi red (tumbler) has come second (to sungold).

tigerella, then golden sunrise followed closely by sundance and all the cherries I was given so, no name ;D

Is that outdoors? My Tigerella is loaded with fruit, but no sign of turning at all.

Same here!

Yet another Sungold as the winner...

I've got some green gardener's delight, and green carbon. We had two tiny ripe gardener's delight the other day - but that's it!

manicscousers · « **Reply #32 on:** July 21, 2009, 15:22:53 »

gardener's delight have started ;D

cleo · « **Reply #33 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:48:40 »

First to ripen this year was` Matina`-then a load came about the same time.

Tim-Stupice is well worth growing

cleo · « **Reply #34 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:54:05 »

Gardners Delight for me not over impressed with the taste though.

Sorry to hear that, GD is usually tasty enough if not outstanding.

tim · « **Reply #35 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:26:26 »

Stupice, Stephan? As said earlier, 90 flowers to a truss. And not just a Cherry.

If only it was a pollinating year!!

Deb P · « **Reply #36 on:** July 22, 2009, 13:05:36 »

2 'Sweet Olive' toms ready yesterday, all the others green green green....... :-\

Grrrrr .... I have tomato envy ofyou all .... my outdoor ones are still VERY VERY green .... biggest ones are about 3cm now so I'm hoping they are the gardeners delight and they get on with it ;)!

amphibian · « **Reply #39 on:** July 22, 2009, 22:34:33 »

Stupice is a great tomato, though one I am not growing this year.

I was surprised to discover it is not pronounced Stew-piss, as I have always said, but seemingly stew-peach-ka
