Anyone know them/grow them? My OH bought some plants for me and I can't seem to find out much about them.........

heirloom variety indeterminate - a slightly citrus taste to them and a dull looking bloom on the flesh.
Sorry can't help more.
Well that's something! Thanks x
Excuse my ignorance but what does that mean exactly? " Heirloom variety indeterminate"
Heirloom means the same as heritage,it is a true variaty.That means seeds of this tomato collected and sown the next time are giving 99% the same tomato.Indeterminate means that this variaty grows big it is a cordon type tomato.Determinate is a bushy variaty.Indeterminate tomatoes are cropping over a long season,determinate is cropping a lot in a very short time the are also a little bit earlier.I hope it wasnt to technical,if you got more questions just ask me.
Ruud, you're a star!
Yes please....can I grow them outside? How much space if they are big croppers? I'm looking forward to growing - they are at the moment in the greenhouse growing fast...
All tips welcome!
Cheers, CLx
Red Peach-called so as the fruit has a slight`furriness` to it -like a peach. So says the `lore`-it`s not a bad tomato-and given a decent summer will crop outside.
Worth growing-if you like it and as Ruud says one can save the seeds.
Not in my top 20 but still a decent one.

So what is in your top 20 Stephan?
I grow almost all my tomatoes in the backgarden but i am also a little bit crazy.Keep them in the greenhouse,just for the save sight.I dont have problems with blight,but if you do got blight,keep them in the greenhouse.Put them half a meter apart.Tip one;dig in a plastic pot near the stem of the tomato,put some manur in it,just a bottumfull.Every time you water your tomato,you do it in the plastic pot,first of all a tomato doesnot like water on his leaves,all the diseases are coming from the soil,so keep your tommies as dry as you can.secon reason,every time you give them water you also fed them a littke bit.Here on my lottie they do it that way .You can do it with all your greenhouse veggies.Works well.E.j,my top20 is;Big white,cherokee purple,purple calabash,costoluto genovese,hungarian giant,kosovo,principe borghese,akers oxheart,amish paste,anna russian,azoychka,berner rosen,black cherry,bloody butcher,brandywine suddutch,druzba,giant syrian,early wonder,striped german and last but not least andes horn.
Is this...

...an Andes Horn?
Yes it is,had them grown this summer,great taste and flavour.
Nice looking Tom! My Hungarian Giants were GIANTS! And sugar sweet Ruud. Mum and I have been eating them gently fried in olive oil with a touch of garlic until soft and slightly carameled, then dolloped on good toast! DELISH!! Black Ethiopian have been incredibly productive and they dry very well. Moneymaker, well Cleo, I only grew it as I received the seeds free and I thought I would give them a test run, and you are SO right. After all of the other toms I grow, they are positively bland. In fact, I would say, flavourless! Gardeners Delight produced loads and loads, as did yellow berry and peacevine. I am OVERTHEMOON with my tom production this year.....and I still have 2 dozen plants at the plot, blight free, with toms on them, under my patented blight protection, squash supporting, rain sheltering structure! The ripening process is now very slow, but as soon as they start to change colour, I am bringing them home and finishing them off under a teatowel in the kitchen. Still mananging to pick at least a dozen per visit!
tee hee-Moneymaker!!-not been a good year for reasons mentioned-but `Marizol Gold` was a tasty new one-so was `Tasty evergreen`
Can I put in a `poor me`?-I have lost my `Black Russian` and Caspian Pink`-that will serve me for going `walk about ` upstairs-anyone have any seeds they could let me have-?-pretty please?

Hi Ruud - is Andes Horn the same tomato as Andine Cornue or just a similar variety?
Lassie - hope you're settled now?
New tom plants? In greenhouse now? You have heat & light??
