I thought of you Johnny when I took this picture knowing how you like to grow and show tomatoes.

Suncherry Premium F1 is about as good as they come in my book, excellent production and healthy plants too. They are certainly on a par sweet-wise but, though they taste great, they don't quite have the same tang combination as Sungold. I find Sweet Aperitif are also excellent as are Piccolo F1 and Floridity F1, which for me, are all way up there as must grows.

I've not tried Pink Charmer, but I'll keep a look out for some seeds, thanks for the tip.

taken note of said varieties and will strive to give them a go over the next couple of seasons thanks for the input

I agree with the list though old Gardeners Delight is still a contender - and available cheaply as well-grown plants so you can grow then from cuttings. So is Sungold of course.

I rate Piccolo/Piccolini highly because the taste is definitely different (some might not like it).

Piccolo are also the best of many reasons I know for not growing blight resistant varieties - not just because they taste 100x better than Ferline et al. - but because out of all the good tomatoes they are the only one you can buy in the shops (even in a bad blight year) and they are still 90x better than home grown blight-resistant ones.

Cheers.
