TOMATOES HELP

[rugbypost]

Looking to grow the small cherry toms this year in hanging baskets not had the best of luck for the past 2 years   I normally grow Alisha Craig i dont now why it seems i had luck with them. I like a fry up on the weekend  the boy fetches the blackpudding off the local market and we sit down and fix  all the worlds problems, and have a laugh. They just the right size to have with our  meal Thanks all   Rugbypost

I grow in pots and last year was very impressed with a variety called  Maskotka  which was slightly earlier than whippersnapper but both cropped very well.

They grew early but I found them a bit tasteless

I  normally grow every other year we like to have a holiday abroad either june, july or august so have to plant accordinly . The family are good with the garden but its not done to what i like  so i plant and know it will not go to waste. The tomatoes last year came to nothing the fruits were all marked and miss shapen, but most years we put them in a draw and cover with a tea towel and they last us right up to christmas. So thought i would try small cherry toms this year never bought any or grown any but it its always fun trying new things in the garden. grannyjanny has been kind and is going to sort through her seeds and let me  have a couple .Thanks to everyone  Rugbypost

I grew Tumbling Tom last year and they were excellent plants - The one in the conservatory cropped for months and the fruit were a nice size, not too small like Hundreds And Thousands! Grew some 100s in baskets and they were TOO prolific. To pick all the ripe fruit as they came took ages, then removing stalks etc took just as long. They were great for a novelty but this year I'm sticking with Tumbling Tom!
