I would sow a couple of each, so you've got fresh seeds for next year.

Apart from that my newbie knowledge of tomatoes is that they are red, round and come in different sizes. ;D

Hi doris,wonderlight is a favourite tommy for me.Heidi is a great sauce tomato and coeur de boeuf is a big beefsteak type tomato.But all depends on were they have to grow,outside or in a grenhouse.

It rather depends on what you have already sown but comparing purely what is there I would say Homesweet.

It is a good tom. very highly resistant to many tom diseases, it is determinate so no pruning,round, red,  well formed, no green shoulders,about 6 ounces , top taste, one of  sweetest mid season varieties. As it is mid season it is reliable to mature well  in UK .
