What tomato varieties are you growing in 2017

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

That I was! And for dammed good reason I tell tell ya

"Defoe" on my grow list this year, this is a description from "Moreveg"

Frankly amazing deep pink cherry toms with a pronounced and lingering fruity flavour of raspberries, blackberries and other summer fruits: totally unique and must be tasted to be believed. Grow outside or under glass. Indeterminate.

And couldn't agree more!

I have some saved seed left over if anybody wants!

I must admit it took a little time to sort that lot. Thanks for the date for the Indian Bush, I'm sure I will love them, so far the only tomato I never want to grow again is Garden Pearl or the German equivalent.

Interested to know more about why Garden Pearl gets the thumbs down? Interested 'cos I have a free packet of seeds from last year - guess free for a reason....

I've grown garden pearl for the last couple of years and will grow it again. It is very floppy, so if you try to grow it in a bed or grow bag it will lie on the soil and tend to go mouldy. It wants a fairly tall pot or a hanging basket and then it is ok. It has quite a pronounced flavour when fully ripe, which like Sungold (although it doesn't taste the same) may not be to everyone's taste.

You should have them Sparrow? They were in last years 2015 seed swap? Ive got some somewhere..will post if you can't find them.
Petite Moineau /a currant tomato from Nicos

Found them!

Slightly embarrassed that I have over 100 varieties of tomato. I've had to adopt VC's method of envelopes and alphabetising...

[veggiechicken]

I keep changing my tomato filing system as alphabetical doesn't always work for me. So I'm splitting them into growing type - like small pots, bush, vine, tumbling and alphabetical within those categories.
Daren't count how many varieties

[MarkPelican]

I've ended up with a spreadsheet that lists all my tomatoes and includes size, colour, leaf-type, growth habit, etc. Then I select cultivars from the list and it tells me what mix of plants I've got so that I can randomly select from my list to get the sort of mix I want this year. Then I can compare it with previous years so that I cycle through my (growing number of) cultivars.

My seeds are alphabetic.

I'm growing Cyril's Choice and Petit Moineau from last year and BLACK RUSSIAN;
STONOR'S MOST PROLIFIC ; ARANYALMA; REISETOMATE POCKETBOOK as new ones. I also have a few White Queen left from 2 years ago and will see if they germinate.

Wow they sound interesting - apart from Black Russian all new to me.

If you have a few spares still I'll give a couple of them a bash.

Baldy and Scoot

Your "Rosella" seeds are bagged, enveloped and I will pop them in the post in the morning!

[Baldy]

I'd given up *all* hope





muchos gracias

[Scoot]

Thanks Deano.

[Scoot]

They arrived today Deano. Thanks.

[Baldy]

Mine arrived also this morning - well battered by the Royal Mail... but I guess the widdle seeds will be ok - will stick some in the propagator tonight.

Thanks Deano

Bit of a long shot this, but I grew some yellow oval cherry tomatoes last year that did really well.

Trouble is, I bought them as small plants from the village show, and I've got no idea what they were.

I'd like to try them again, so is there a common variety that they are likely to be ?

They were definitely yellow, not orange, and oval shaped rather than round cherry ones.

Your both more than welcome!

If I can help out with anything else, give me a nod!
