My tomatoes

[chengjing]

My first proper harvest of tomatoes from lotty. Aren't they pretty?

[OllieMartin]

In a word, "yes". I'm not growing such an eclectic mix, but I have 4x the number of varieties from last year.

[Jillyreeves]

Very nice :-) What varieties do you have? I guessing a couple are Tigerella, Sungold and possibly Golden Sunrise?

That's a lovely attractive collection of toms - well done!

[chengjing]

Thanks guys. I choose tomato plants by their looks.

Yep, you are right. The big gold one in the middle is golden sunrise. The small golden ones could be sungold or golden cherry. The pear shaped ones are called yellow pear (french variety). There is also red cherry. The ones with purpley red colours are Gartenperle.

Yes, me too the more unusual the better, either shape, size or colour. Then if they pass the taste test at the end of the year they are a keeper

They're lovely: are they planted on lotty or in a greenhouse?

[chengjing]

TS, they grow in the greenhouse not outdoor. We put up a second hand greenhouse 10'x16' at my plot this spring. Plenty space for a lot of tomatoes.

Look lovely - out of 25 odd plants, I have 1 plant (green sausage) with two tomatoes forming - this year hasn't been that great for me!

Lovely looking Toms, well done, mine are still green & the ones that started turning had blossom end rot.......

[Nicos]

Well done- what an inviting plate of toms!

Love the mixture of colours and shapes.
Do you have a favourite flavour out of that lot???

[frogga]

They look very impressive, ours are still green and keep getting bigger, just wish they would begin to turn red!

[chengjing]

Thanks guys, yours will turn red soon.

Hi, Nicos

I am terrible at tomato flavours. They all taste similar. The only thing I would say small cherries stay firmer for a lot longer than bigger ones. The sunrise turns soft very quickly once ripen.

[Erwin]

Hey guy,

They are looking very good and pretty.
Which kind of tomatoes you harvest?
Are they belong to two different kinds?

[chengjing]

Hi, Erwin, the big golden one is sunrise, the big strippy one is tegerella, others are red pear, and golden cherry and red cherry.
