I knew I would have too many to eat and I don't particularily like fresh tomatoes, so I did a tomato trial in two of my ramshackle greenhouses. What I found from my nine tomato types trial was:-
Roma plum tomatoes are great for drying but very late in maturing (still maturing now!)
Orange Banana toms are heavy croppers, late maturing and good for drying!
Old faithful, Gardeners delight are just that, but only eaten freshly off the bush...still on the go at mo!
Beafsteak toms including Marmande and Ponderosa pink were a waste of time.
Hartzfeur were very productive but a bit tasteless...useless for drying
A little yellow tomato called Ildi was very late but are also very nice just eaten from the vine!
I grew a couple of other varieties as well but the mere fact that I can't recall there names is in itself testament to how crap they were!
For drying it has to be the plum type!
