  • Good choice for hanging basket toms?

    That will grow in the North East of England. Any suggestions? Thank you

    I know these are not everyones favouriye but this year we had 4 large baskets with 2 Tumbling Tom red and 2 Tumbling Tom yellow.

    The baskets face north east and after a slowish start they went into over drive and the yellow ones were magnificent.

      Ive just found a ten year old packet of Garden Pearle which i will be sowing in total, interesting to see how many germinate, very tasty tom tho. Also bought Tumbler after many recomendations from here.

            I usually grow Tumbler, this year I grew Maskotka, which produced slightly bigger, tastier toms, but less of them. Next year I'm trying Terenzo.

              I've grown them in a hanging basket with good success!

                Tumbling tom red I thought were lovely this year.

                Maskotka i grew this year as well but for some reason most pf them rotted on the plant. 'll be trying them again next year

                  I love Maskotka, they're very tasty, early and reliable. By far the tastiest basket type, most I've tried have been rather tasteless.

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                    The 100s n 1000s I grew (thnx cadalot) were prolific, tasty and blight resistant. There are actually a few still in the odd half-forgotten plot that look like they might be edible (I'll probably not risk it..)

                        I've grown Garden pearl in a bucket and got a good crop.
