If folk would like to say what varieties they have grown before, but are not growing any more, I will summarise here.

If you are not growing a variety because of hearsay that would be of interest too.

I grew Moneymaker and Alisa Craig for many years, and then grew Shirley alongside which I much preferred, so I have not grown the other two since.

I'm not growing Moneymaker this year.  After discovering heritage breeds, commercial ones just don't taste the same!

[DD.]

I'm with the previous posters as regards Moneymaker, I was suprised to see it so high in the polls last year.

I've 7 heritage varieties to try inside this year, couresty of the HSL, Shirley will be grown outside. (Yes I know you asked what are we not growing!).

Not growing Alicante again; trying Shirley instead and a local one called Bretby something or other - old and long forgotten apparently.

No Moneymaker here I think it's tasteless.
I grew Black Krim, Black from Tula, Paul Robeson and Black Prince (beefsteaks) last year and although I liked the taste the yield doesn't make them worth growing again.

I've tried yellow toms in the past - last year was Beam's Yellow Pear and they are too sweet for my taste, so won't grow those again either. In fact no more yellows at all!

I grew Incas last year (plum) good yield and taste but enormous bush plants that were near on impossible to control, so back to a cordon variety this year.

Many of us got the free Koralik seeds last year, but I shan't grow them again, as the plants weren't very strong.

This could go on forever, so I'll stop now

I'm not growing Moneymaker this year either.  Was recommended it by my Grandad last year but I was rather disappointed with it and think there are better varieties.  I'm going to try Shirley as an alternative this year.

Interesting point about things that are "yellow".  I have had difficulty "selling" the yellow tomatoes (I grew Golden Sunrise) and the yellow Autumn fruiting Raspberry we have to the kids (and visiting kids).  They taste fine, and after the novelty "It tastes just like a normal one" they still choose a red ones instead.

So, on that basis, I've never tried growing a yellow Courgette!

Koralik and roma, very disappointed with the 2. Koralik were difficult to germinate and didn't taste brilliant, roma rubbish crop.

Ditto!

All but Vennessa and Beefsteak

[savbo]

giving up on san marzano after at least 5 years trying - greenback, rot, late ripening and not a lot to show...

was going to try Roma on John's recommendation but after grenhouse's post I'm not sure...

[Trillium]

I'm not growing the black cherry tomatoes - can never tell if or when they're ripe and most falls off too soon.

Will never grow the grape type toms - totally flavourless and tough.

Same with yellow pear - huge cropping but no flavour.

Same with mortgage lifter. Its a huge tom but ripens too quickly  and it's mush when you go to pick it. Handy if you care to stand over it waiting and watching, but that's not for me.

Odd that others mention roma - I always get heavy crops from it and decent flavour. Could be the scads of chicken manure I add every year.

I'm not surprised Moneymaker is getting the thumbs down from so many people.  It's not much better than your average supermarket tom IMO.  Roma are an aquired taste.  They are a good tom for sauce as they are meaty without too many seeds and the flavour doesn't really come across unless they are cooked, so not much good if you want toms for salad.

I'm going the opposite direction from MOS.  I grew a few bush tomatoes last year and got some good yields, I'm cutting down on cordons this year.  Mine are old style heritage varieties as well and I did a seed swap with Skip from Oz so got some really unusual ones to try this year    If they do well I'll try and save some seed to offer as swaps.

[Jome]

No moneymaker for me either, or Gardener's Delight, bit bored of both.
I'm growing Koralik this year and am disappointed to hear the bad feedback on that 

[Poolcue]

Minibel got a free packet from GW last year.They are early but totally tasteless.
