Title: Anyone tried Black Cherry Tomato (T&M's)
Post by: Chris Graham on March 12, 2007, 12:50:22
Just bought these for 99p for 25 seeds from Klondyke Garden Centre.

Seem really good, anyone grown them?

Not sure if they have only been introduced this year?

Not tried them yet Chris - mine just arrived in the post this morning.  Planning to sow them on the windowsill this week.  Are you growing them indoors or out?  I'm going to try both as an experiment - I'm determined to find tomatoes that'll grow (and more importantly, ripen) outdoors in Glasgow.  I may be on to plums - soor ones, not tomatoes!

Your best bet for ripening a tomato in Glasgow outdoors, is a bush tomato such as Sub Arctic Plenty. Blight is likely to be a problem, especially on Allotments with all the potatoes around.

Well thats them sown.

Two pots inside on the windowsill and two pots in the garage on top of the boiler.

Seems my garage isnt too cold for tomato plants. I thought it would have been, but they are growing ok.

I'm trying that one too, this year. Not that I'm that far north. Blight really is a menace with outdoor toms.
