Can any of you tomatoholics tell me if there is any difference between the heritage varieties 'Yellow Peach' and 'Garden Peach' please? I've seen this rave review and fancy trying it, but can only find Garden Peach (which is also yellow!) seeds offered online..

I had a "Garden Peach" from HDRA HSL about ten years ago... it was a long keeper.. off the vine it would ripen by Jan and last until March... by which time the seeds were germinating inside the fruit!!
Wasn't really yellow, more a pale red/orange and not furry...
Haven't got them now though!

From the way he raves about the flavour of yellow peach I doubt it's the same cultivar as garden peach which I find rather bland.

I would agree it is bland but it is the same tomato
