I can't do without gardeners delight either - I just want to sow reliables....but also a red normal sized Tom and a something I haven't tried before or one I've forgotten about.
I've purple Ukrainian here - I seem to remember that did well?


I must move - I don't seem to have any energy today
Can anyone recommend a nice compact bush cherry tomato for growing in a slightly more shallow than ideal container on a narrow windowsill? I think the upturned dome from a pack of (very disappointing and not worth the calories) profiteroles might just work. Even better if you can recommend one where you have a few seeds going spare that I might be able to send you a stamped addressed envelope for! Nothing that needs starting too early, as my propagator is in storage, though I may be able to cobble something together with some hot water bottles and tin foil...

I could probably grow something up a single string attached to my curtain rail if any of you only have suggestions that would need a little bit of height.
Pinocchio Orange is the smallest of the 7 varieties of micro dwarf I've grown. I've seen photos of micro dwarves being grown quite successfully in 500 ml yoghurt pots.

It's years since I grew tomatoes successfully (I don't count last year, as it was all last-minute with little choice of variety), so I'm still experimenting. If I had to choose just one, it would probably have to be a really tasty cherry tomato - I've heard good things about Black Cherry, which I am growing this year, but I guess we'll see...

I also have high hopes for Costoluto di Parma, as I do like a good slicing tomato for salads and sandwiches. And San Marzano is a must-have for canning/freezing.

So many great varieties, so little space...

Thank you so much!
Still looking for the variety I can't do without. Black cherry in a good year is probably still my favourite cherry, but I now prefer larger tomatoes. Most of the varieties I'm growing this year are new so hopefully there's a gem or two in there.
Mines Black Cherry I can't go in the GH without eating a couple.
My grow list, I've sowed : and there was I intending to reduce the number of varieties I was growing, that didn't happen! And I'm still looking at seed catalogues for tomato seed for next year's list Smile thank you for all the swaps, it's made life very interesting.
