  • Ailsa Craig.

    I was sold these as Ailsa Craig. I reckon they are not. What do you guys think? Some are really ugly little spuds, but I couldn't get a good shot of them. Most are much larger and wrinkly than I would have expected.

    That's 'cos they're tomatoes
    Sorry - I know that's not very helpful but it had to be said

      No, they don't look like Ailsa Craig to me either.

        I wish mine looked as good as those spuds.

            I suspect not Ailsa Craig either but sometimes when I grow them outside they can take on a less-than-perfectly-round shape!

            I always assumed it was because I watered irregularly or because it gets cold at night or even wind!

            From your pics I guess they are in a greenhouse and you haven't neglected them?

            Who sold you them? Which seed merchant?

              They were bought as seedlings from a local nursery. I think they are the product of a cross pollination last year with a Marmande or suchlike. They are indeed in a gh and are pampered.

                They look like a beefsteak but I may be wrong.

                  They look like Ailsa Craig to me! One of the finest tasting tomatoes there are, but very susceptable to greenback which these appear to have!

                    They look like Bramley seedling cooking apples to me.

                        Some do, and some don't. That's the strange thing. Even without the wrinkles, I think they are far too big for AC's. One thing is for sure, if they taste ok, they'll get necked.
