Hi.

I'm going to grow 'Sungold' again this year but I also want to grow a tomato that is more of a standard size eg around 1.5" to 2" diameter. (Maybe that's large, I don't know). Excellent flavour is paramount, of course.

I tried 'gardeners delight' a few years back and they were a bit small. Any recommendations for a tasty tom about the size I want?

BTW I use growbags, 3 plants to a bag - will that effect the size of the toms? i.e. if I gave 'gardeners delight' more root room would they produce bigger toms?

Ta.

my plot neighbour gave me some 'outdoor girl' last year and they were delicious and large (1.5-2"), so that's what I've got this year.

Gardeners delight is a cherry as far as i know. Try shirley it is a popular tom and very nice

im growing gardeners delight as a cherry and marmande as a beef tom but recomended by so many on this site was shirley f1 for flavour so i got them aswell

[cooperman]

be a bit more adventurous and try

Monte Carlo
Principe Borghese
Cour de Blue
Odessa (a good outdoor heritage one)
San Marzano (a big plum type)

I grow these so |I know they are good...

We grew Auriga for the first time last year, it is normal sized very fleshy same colour as Sungold with a good flavour. We grow quite a few varieties and I think different ones like different seasons which is possibly why there is always conflicting advice but I agree Sungold is always first on the team sheet.

I haven't actually gone out and measured my Toms ever, but Red Alert is nice and and early.

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll have a look at the garden centres and see which of those I can get.

Cheers all.

You could try Moneymaker, i would stick to 2 plants per growbag as you get stronger plants
