I've succumbed to you lot's bad influence again! I've been going over my plan for the coming year, since it's way too cold to do anything outdoors, and decided that, while I do love cherry tomatoes, I really ought to grow some bigger ones as well, for preserving etc.
So, I popped onto the Seeds of Italy site and bought a packet each of San Marzano 2, Principe Borghese (thanks @PyreneesPlot for the recommendation!) and Costoluto di Parma. I only have space for one of each, but hopefully that will give me a few jars of pasta sauce and some dehydrated sliced toms for the winter. The Neapolitan San Marzano 2 is an endangered heritage variety, very meaty with thin skin and few seeds, but there's loads in a packet so I have time to practice some seed-saving before they run out!
