Your favourite tomato?
« on: February 12, 2012, 22:40 »
Hi Folks, I have just joined and thought I would jump in at the deep end and make a post :)

I have a plot and I am in Worcestershire, and this will be my 2nd year of growing.  I have grown a few different tomato, garden pearl, gardeners delight, marmande.  Having grown those type the past few years, and given them organic feed with seaweed extract and grown in compost in containers.  I found them to be rather bland, and not very sweet at all, and rather disappointing if i'm totally honest.  This year I am growing varities: Latah, beefsteak, polish linguisa, purple ukraine, amish paste, yellow pear, and cherry.  I hope that I will find a variety that I really like  and only grow them in future.  I like a thin skinned, sweet tomato.  Could anyone suggest a variety to try?  And also, what is your favourite and why?  I hope I have not rambled too much and someone can reply lol.

Thanks :)
This is my Allotment, There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without my Allotment I am nothing, without me, my Allotment is nothing

Hello there  ;)
That's a nice long list I've grown a few different ones in the past, and really liked Purple Ukraine, but be prepared for the leaves to look whispey and rather sparse, they have huge trusses which I had to support with extra strings from the roof of the greenhouse ::)
