Yellow peach = love the fuzziness and the flavour
Black cherry = for flavour
San Marzano = for my passata machine

and several others yet to be decided.

All outside - I am an optimist ;D

Sungold because they are yummy.
Korol Gigantov because of the generosity of one forum member
Big Boy curtesty of my mate Mike who knows his onions
San Marzano because of the wisdom of previous posters
Harbinger because they are early and reliable

plus whatever else takes my fancy at the time...

I think I will give Ferline and maybe Legend a go

Also a tomato that grew in my garden. No idea what it is or where it came from but suddenly there were two small yellow fruits.

My favourite is still Sungold I love going out into the garden of a morning and grazing.

O.K. guys,
Got the tastey info. Black cherry is also blight resistant?
More info. on that point. Thanks.

Black Krim again- a medium size but great complex flavor

Anna Russian- a large, up to a lb. heart-shaped very meaty fruit with very small seeds and tiny seed pockets. The plant itself initially looks ferny and frail but beefs up

Polfast- it is the earliest, good flavor, smallish to med. sized, but poops out by August so I'll grow some in pots to replace these

Maybe Pruden's Purple again though this yr. it didn't earn its keep. Wonderful flavor when it does.

Not Brandywine- too huge a plant and few fruits though they were large
Not Tigerella- flavor not as good as the others to my way of thinking

Will try "Black Cherry" due to rave reviews and still hunting for a super-early tom- maybe a Canadian one?

I may try putting a temporary roof over some with open sides.

Sungold.. for the flavour and yield in a cherry size.

Paul Robeson,of all my blacks this is my favourite black tom, the taste is out of thos world.

La Roma (not roma ) for a plum type.

Big Beef is my standard best red. usually blemish free with a super taste and perfectly round.

Galapagos and Elfie, recently sent to me from Oz,my new ones this year.

Brandywine Yellow(Platfoot) Also Hughs, another yellow.

Soldacki,pink, the taste is super and the yield is good

Muleteam , midseason

2 Only Tumblers, good yield takes up little room and matures in 55 days so although the flavour is not the best it keeps me going till the others arrive

Lillians Yellow Heirloom, I think it is the best yellow, it is potato leaved and is generally a strong plant,
the seeds are not easily found in the UK and the fruits often cat face but they have a very distint taste.

Kellogg's Breakfast, brilliant orange ,large, high yield, fab taste.

Green grape,, heavy yield, outstanding taste.

One or two of the Polar group, not sure which yet, but because they are compact and very early.

Aussie, for a bit of fun.. I have bet on with a penpal as to who grows the biggest.

After that, I don't know, with much less space now I have to be more selective(and sad)

cambourne7 and GrannieAnnie would mind taking the offtopic posts to the shed.
This is tomato and veg growing thread.

northener · « **Reply #33 on:** October 23, 2009, 17:03:53 »

We don't mind too much on here Plainleaf, chill.

Plainleaf2 people often go off-topic in threads on this forum which other members don't mind at all.
If you don't like it then hard luck and don't start threads here.

plainleaf2 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 23, 2009, 17:14:33 »

Flighty these same type people made personal attack and insults against me on other threads.
so if they want talk offtopic that is what shed if for. Off topic and other unrelated posts is what pretty much killed bbc garden boards.

It is much better to grow a baby than toms. You can buy toms in supermarkets but not babies. How exciting I wish you well. Oh I have got all excited now and its not mine and a long time to wait until March. I was just excited that I got any ripe toms this year, think they were Gardeners Delight from a free packet of seeds. I have two children and four grandchildren and was more excitrf about them, then toms, but must say was excited about my cauliflower until I found it had a slug in it. Going of topic now, what I shame. ;D ;D

Flighty · « **Reply #38 on:** October 23, 2009, 17:20:11 »

Borlotti well said! :)
