In the past have always grown my tomatoes in the green house. This year i have a whole new allotment to fill. Is it worth putting some outside on my allotmet? :D

[saddad]

It's new to me as well Twoflower... I grow mine in greenhoses and polys... but I do have several to play with...  :)

That's my favourite too.  I've grown many varieties (not as many as Saddad!) but I always grow Sungold.  This year, I'm limiting myself to Sungold and Piccolo. 

[saddad]

Black Cherry gives Sungold a run for it's money... but as Sungold is the only F1 I grow it must be doing something right!!  :)

[sunloving]

Ive done both with sungold and gardeners delight. but the last two years they have suffered with blight. However the sungold always seem to manage to ripen but the crop is much lower.
However in the good year of 2007 the out door ones did just as well as indoor and in fact were easier becuase they didnt need such intensive watering and feeding.
So do it but be prepared for a bad year. Make a tunnel cloche outside this will help protect them from the wost of the ravages, also they grow well inside minigreenhouses outdoors.

Whatever I can find as plants  in the Canadain garden centres as it will be too late for me to sow seeds when we get there in two weeks..probably some of the Brandywines with a couple of cherries.

We will see
