The only ones I've grown of them is the Marmande, lovely big meaty tomatoes!  You don't so get many fruits on the plant, but they are very nice!

I found the same with the Cour di Bue.
I grew Outdoor Girl outside years ago, standard size toms with good yield, but those were the years when we actually had nice summers ::)
Don't know how they'd cope nowadays  :unsure:

The first time I grew Outdoor Girl, I was amazed at the heavy crop and was looking forward to them ripening .... then it rained and rained and rained, and they all got blight  :(   I tried again in 2011 and despite the dry conditions, the same heavy crop and this time they ripened much earlier than the other tomatoes.

I agree with Grannie about Marmande. last year I had some Cour di bue from the veg seed pass the parcel & they did well in the greenhouse,lovely flavour.

Yes I didn't get round to growing any outside last year,just as well with the weather they would have definitely got blighted. Might be better this year. Will they be in your garden? or on an allotment?

In the garden, will be investing in a little pop up greenhouse, will do some in there and some outside, will let you know how they get on
