A real sight for sore eyes. I'll second tim's query about the whites ::)
Hope you are all well chuffed!

I got my 'Great Whites' and 'White Beauty' from seeds of distinction. Picked a load today!  LOVELY!!

My Potato leaf white are from HDRA seed library... but I save my own and could spare some for anybody, or at least the first ten requests...
They are relatively shy on seeds, so make great soup...
;D
I think the dark red ones are just a trick of the light levels... being further from the flash! T+M are offering a black cherry at 99p this time and free Sub arctic plenty if you buy two other packs!

Well I wouldn't say they were much better, mine tasted marginally better maybe but certainly a valuable early crop. I'll be looking for other earlies in the coming spring, with a little more flavour hopefully

Grew Sub Arctic Plenty last year, and to be honest thought the taste was pretty insipid compared with all the other tomatoes I've grown, so won't be growing them again!
