I've just been sent a free packet of 'First in the field' tomato seeds, with a Dolmio promotion to try a competition for a holiday in Italy, or a box of veg for a year!

Naturally, I think this is a very generous gesture on Dolmio's part, and I am very grateful for the dozen or so seeds, but I can't find anything about them at all!

Has anyone else ever grown them, as we won't have a greenhouse this year, and everything will go outside - which I am told on the packet will be OK!

As the name implies "First in the FIELD", they can be grown as an outdoor variety     Kings Seeds sell them http://www.kingsseeds.com/kolist45/3/e=3/0/14805.htm

Unusual colour in the picture and potato shaped leaves! Hmmmm............ sound interesting.

Surprised there isn't much info out there on them Growster as they are an old bush variety that has been around for years  

Supposed to be early and very tasty.  Bush types usually beat the blight so should be fine on the plot

Thanks all, I tried the usual suspects and of course, here, but the pics didn't seem to work on King's site.

I was also interested to find out if anyone else had been so lucky, as we could all win together, hire a coach, and twirl down to Tuscany in a haze of Chianti and a Dolmio sandwich or three, singing a happy song...;0)

Matt, we're supposed to know all about these tomatoes, so just keep your head down, and we may just get away with it...;0)

I grow bush plants in hanging baskets. The toms hang over the side. Too easy to pick

Anyway where's my seed??

[mumofstig]

I have to state that - as I'm still eating my own tomatoes from last year and haven't bought any Dolmio jars - I have not received their free seeds 

Just as well, I have too many growing already

Got mine today,another type to test for blight resistance down the allotment.
