Which Tomatoes are you growing with photos and opinions.

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.

This year
1.Rosella
1. Rose de Berne
1. Nectar rose
1. Oleron yellow
1. True black brandywine
2. Raspberry oxheart
2. Buffalo horn.

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

Not growing many varieties just my favourite ones.

San Marzano .. 2 plants
Gardeners delight...1 plant
Black Cherry..7 plants

Probably quite boring but I am growing

Roma
Ailsa Craig (Own saved seed)
Harzfeur
San Marzano

I need to figure out which ones to sideshoot and which ones not!

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 Most of them are run of the mill toms anyway, but I will try to let you know my opinions at harvest.

Yeah but they’re all growing at pretty much the same rate, not sure which is supposed to be the main stem. I’m happy to grow a tree   .

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.
