Lucky you, Chris

Always nice to get freebies!
The Shirley are the ones to keep in the greenhouse, I think. Moneymaker definately are ok in or out, I've grown them before. Not 100% sure about the others, but I'd be tempted to keep the Big Boy in the greenhouse too, they're a beefsteak, so might need the warmth early & late to ripen the fruit?

Thanks Sarah
Thought it might be Shirley wasn't sure about the Big Boy when I googled I got mixed messages

Now I have to find room for them along with the several sungold and cucumbers!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I just have to decide if the sweet million are going into a hanging basket or not.

Big Boy is nearly always recommended as an indoor tomato. It will crop outside however.

This year I am trying one in the greenhouse but usually they have to go outdoors.

Basically you can probably grow any of them in or out - but you need to have good control over ventilation and watering.

By the way, sun drying is replicated in the UK by oven drying or using a purpose built food dryer.

I think they're a cordon.

Perhaps someone who has actually grown them could put us out of our misery!
