What tomato varieties will you be sowing this year?

[Thelma Sanders]

Crimean black.
They were wonderful for me last year.

Is that the same as Black Krim, I wonder?

Yes it is, answered my own question

Noire de Crimee..............?

[jackarmy]

Crimson crush
Ruby
sungold
Alicante ( just as good as shirley as far as im concerned)

few more probably but their the only definates so far.

First year growing tomatoes in my new greenhouse. Sowing Sungold and have ordered grafted plants of Gardeners Delight, Shirley and Orange Paruche. I'm interested to see how grafted and non-grafted compare, is it worth it, especially with the shorter growing season in Scotland.

I'm going to put the brakes on this year after last year's glut. I've just counted the packs of tomato in my freezer (a few left from 2016 and all I froze in 2017 and 2018) and there are 158 meals worth, plus several lots of pizza topping, not to mention soup. This is why I had to buy an extra freezer last year.

Therefore...
Shirley for house tomatoes and my friend's greenhouse
Brandy Boy for my friend's greenhouse
Balconi red for early fresh tomatoes
Ferline for salads
Sungold for salads

I also have packets of seed for
Alicante
Bajaja
Balconi yellow
Chocolate Cherry
Crimson Crush
Garden Pearl
Legend
Moneymaker
Mountain Magic
Oh Happy Day
Precious
Roma
Sweet Aperitif
Tumbling Tom Red

I think my chances of being able to stick to just 5 varieties are extremely slim!

My first year of attempting to grow anything was a success overall, but the biggest hit with the kids were the tomatos, especially the Sugar Gloss and the Sun Gold, so this year I will be scaling up:

Alicante
Shirley
Sugar Gloss
Sun Gold
Outdoor Girl
Big League
Black Opal
Tumbling Tigress
Green Zebra
Indigo Rose
Red Zebra
Apricot Dream, possibly, depending on whether my single solitary seed germinates.

Gardeners Delight and Outdoor girl, both outdoors.

Maskotka. And maybe one cordon type, haven't decided which yet. All my cordons did terribly last year, not sure if it was lack of water or poor soil in my tunnel.

[rambleberry]

I'm trying not to grow so many this year, but already I'm having trouble whittling it down. Sigh.

Definitely:

Indoor --
Coeur de Surpriz
Lotus
Black Krim

Outdoor --
Grushovka
Speckled Roman

That leaves space for 4 more 'indoor' varieties and 2/3 more 'outdoor'.

My Black Krim and his Summer Cider were just awesome last year!

Cant say I have tried grafted ones, but in my experience us north of watford need to help them along in march / april with grow light, etc and then they are full size to absorb our longer days

I can't help with the grafted tomato either. Never tried them.
I always grow from seed. Don't start till mid March then sow in the heated propagator. Then they go into the polytunnel. I've never had any issues with them producing in our short season.

I have a grow light I use to pep up overwintering cuttings, so I plan to put my seedling tomatoes under it.

If anyone has experience of grafted plants I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'll report back myself at the end of the season.
