Outdoor Tomato Varieties

I had good results with Totem last year. It is a bush tomato with salad size tomatoes, and I thought the flavour was good. This year I had them again outside along with Tumbler, a cherry tomato. Neither have done very well which I just put down to the poor summer as both are meant to be good outdoors. I wasn't overly impressed with the flavour of Tumbler.

I have grown Shirley in the greenhouse this yearand thought they were excellent but am not sure whether they would be ok outside.

I'm sure others will have their own opinions.

I have grown shed loads of plum roma, marmande, green grape, gardeners' delight and some Italian ones. Somehow I've lost the labels though.
They all taste blooming lovely.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

When I used to grow them outdoors, I had a lot of success with a bush variety called 'Amateur'. I kept them under polythene tents (cheap cloche substitute) until they grew out of them and picke fruit ovwer a long period.

In the greenhouse I now grow nothing but G Delight. Never tried it outdoors.


Where did you get the seeds for 'Amateur'? I want to try and do tomatoes next year, and they sound like they might be a good variety to try... but I can't find the seeds online anywhere!

Chiltern seeds do them...

Welcome to the forum, BTW.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
