Tomato varieties

[cleo]

What are you growing that is `new` to you this year?

I`ve just picked the first `Italian Heirloom` and it`s very good. Large fruit with a clean, fresh taste-not as complex as some of the `blacks` just easy on the mouth.

The first Blaby will get picked tomorrow and I know some folks here are trying it.

This year I have Black Krim, Riesenstraube, Roman Candle, Golden Plum, Striped Sausage [the name escapes me.] Gardener's Delight and miniature yellow pear shaped. I don't have a name for these. I got a packet of "ornamental tomatoes" from T&M years ago. All sorts of shapes and colours described as cocktail tomatoes [small]. I used to sell loads of them in mixed punnets at W.I. sales, Church Fetes etc. They self seeded for years, until only the yellow pears were left. Of course T&M no longer sell them.
I also have an un-named orange medium sized tomato. It is very sweet for it's size.It turned up one year with some Gardener's Delight seeds I grew. Another prolific self seeder, but having learned my lesson with the cocktail tomatoes, I now save seed of these two varieties.
