  • Sutton's 100's and 1000's tomatoes

    I have a packet a of Sutton's 100's and 1000's apparently it says "probably the world's most prolific tomato"
    also "ideal for baskets and containers"

    Has anyone actually grown this type before? If in the ground will they grow tall or are they a type of bush type?

    And are they as abundant as they say? if i plant all 8 seeds is that a little ridiculous

    Any experience will be greatly appreciated
    I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

    Sutton's website, says that it's a bush variety
    Tomato Hundreds and Thousands Seeds - Suttons Seeds and Plants

    I don't think I'd want to grow 8 plants though

    an old thread here which may help

      I grew them in hanging baskets Lisa, there lovely and loads of them but a little bit on the small side
      My plant grew to about 12" and sprawled

        I grew them 2 years ago and they were brilliant - the photo is of one plant in a 30cm pot in my culticave. Am growing them again this year. The tomatoes are tiny, but they are really good for salads and taste great.

          I grew these last year 7 of them (that was a mistake - way too many toms)

          It is a fantastic variety, the tomatoes themselves are sweet and rich, id say better flavoured then sungold.

          At the end though I just had too many!! I must have had about 2-3 thousands cherry tomatoes, I just got sick of the taste of them

          They drink alot of water so make sure you use big baskets, I actually started a thread near the top at the moment about how I can save watering.

          They also seemed prone to early blight so this year Ill probably spray with aspirin real early.

            Thanks they look lovely, excited about these ones. can never have enough i think my chickens would turn into tomatoes if i let them eat what they wanted.
            The size might be a pain as i loved current toms but takes so long to pick a good bowl full

              Just to add

              I found they tasted best when they were picked 90% ripe, so like a deep orange colour.
