Ok so I want to grow 1 cherry, 1 standard, 1 beef. I think I’m going with rambling red stripe for cherry, Black Russian for beef. Happy to be guided into other directions. I need help choosing a standard/ medium size tom please. Colour / shape not important. Size and good producer is important as only growing one of each.  This is my list of tomato seeds I have . What do you think? Tomato cuor di bue (beef steak ). 1 Tomato German red strawberry  (beef steak )  1 Tomato Black Russian  1 Tomato rosella . 1 Tomato matts hornet  1 Tomato mat-su express 1 Tomato EM c ..read more

I'm growing APB for the first time. Does the panel  (probably  Veggie or TMTT) think they are a hybrid or open pollinated? Should I save seed if, they're any good, for swapping ..read more

So far my list is: Some have been sown, others are waiting in the wings. Greenhouse Summer Frolic - red big Cherry. New. Bloody Butcher - early small salad. Didn't have much success last year, giving it another go. Honeycomb - orange/yellow cherry. Sweet. May even replace Sungold in future years Sungold - everyone knows this one Jaune Flamme - large cherry, dark orange. New. I might find it too thick skinned for P's liking. All the more for me Piglet Willie - Dark red. Salad I think.   This and Jaune Flamme courtesy of Garrett, thanks very much. Artisan Pink Bumblebee ..read more

I’ve had lots of tomatoes all come in together, I’ve been giving them away to friends and family and still have excess tomatoes, so I’ve made tomato sauce by roasting them with some of my home grown garlic and rosemary with some added balsamic vinegar sprayed over them, then blitzed and finally into containers for freezer. These containers has just enough sauce as a base for a curry, chilli, or savoury mince for 2 people.   5B2FABD9-4E4A-47E5-90C6-7711A91B3C9E.jpeg (Size: 115.48 KB / Downloads: 3)   035865D2-A881-46A1-8F27-C05ECE0349B3.jpeg (Size: 129.77 KB / Downloads: 3 ..read more

Anyone got it yet? Pretty sure I've found it on the leaves of Kestrel potatoes and the nearby Maskotka bush tomatoes. The potato foliage has been cut down and I've cleaned the tomatoes of any spotty foliage. I'm going to check on the Cara potatoes in the front garden, though they are blight resistant so fingers crossed. Must be the earliest I've ever seen it! Luckily a lot of the tomatoes I'm growing outside are blight resistant, but it would be incredibly disappointing for blight to take hold so early ..read more

I've grown a tomato in the gh called Burlesque. It's fruiting well and the fruits are big, so big that one has fallen off because it was too heavy for its stem. Unfortunately the fallen fruit is green but in order to stop this happening with the other trusses does anyone have any ideas or experience of trying to support with slings like with melons? DIY preferable but I'm happy to buy summat ..read more
