2020 Tomato variety grow list - Veggie - 21-05-2020
Which Tomatoes are you growing with photos and opinions.
RE: 2020 Tomato variety grow list - Mikey - 21-05-2020
This year I'll be mostly growing three to my toes.
1 Sunblush which I think is a Sungold Hybrid as a trial
2 Cuor Di Bue my go to Beefsteak
3 San Marzano as I have a newly acquired need for pizza sauce.
I'd also like to try Pomodorino Corbari - or might be Corbara but, I can't get hold of this tiny regional Italian tomato. It is apparently the go-to liquor for the best San Marzano artisan tomato sauce.

One of the buffalo horn is more like a tree, I don’t know what it’s playing at.

RE: 2020 Tomato variety grow list - JJB - 21-05-2020
Basically I think I sowed some seeds of every packet I had in the box. Now I'm wondering where on earth I'm going to plant them. There's not much hope of me getting pictures of each one

I go with which ever is straightest normally. I prefer to take out the side shoots as it can get a bit jungle like and hard to spot and support fruit when there’s multi stems. It’s when the fruit stalks start growing new stems at the end I think they are ganging up on me.
