I have been looking throught a seed brochure thinking of getting some seed for growing outdoors next year. The brochure (Simply Vegetables from www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk) has a great range of heritage seeds but gives no indication whether each variety is suitable for outdoor production.
I have picked out Jersey Devil, Currant Sweet Pea and Stupice. Does anyone have knowledge of these varieties or know of a website with heritage tomato information?
It`s a nice catalouge.
Much depends on location -I am on the Lincs /Cambs border and have tried Stupice outdoors(and indoors)-it was fine.
Currant sweet pea is not one I know but `tiny` toms like `yellow currant` do well outside-Jersey Devil I have not tried.

gardeners delight did Ok up here in Yorks v sweet and tasty
I do wish Gardeners Delight was bigger ;D I like a decent sized tomato and can't be doing with the titchy ones ;D
I grew a Heritage variety called Mortgage Lifter from Fothergills and it's is grown outdoors, wierd shape but gorgeous taste and dead juicy. Lovely with cheese on a sarni as well as for spag bols and stews etc
I always grow toms outside as they don't need any pesticides :)
