I ended up getting fed up of picking from them as took so long for miniscule tomatoes, so not on my grow list this year, but still have seed if you wanted to try.
They didn't suffer any blight either x Hiya Mamzie
I tell Mrs B "patience" is my middle name
Joking aside sure pm me and I'll drop you a self addressed envelope, many thanks

My list is short for this year with me growing three plants of each type.
1) Heinz
2)Black Russian
3) Craigella
The only one of these I have grown before is Black Russian.
Craigella is an offshot of Ailsa Craig which I usually grow, minus the greenback apparently?
Heinz is self explanatory and supposedly tasteful and heavy cropping? Has anyone grown Heinz before and were they impressed?

Six each of roma & san marzano for bottling, six prince borghese for drying and then usually one or two of the others for eating fresh.
I have an open-sided roofed frame that takes 36 plants climbing up strings.

My list is very modest compared to some, but I do love tomatoes, so after extensive research here is my list:
- Black Cherry - because everyone says how yummy it is
- Sungold F1 - to find out what all the fuss is about!
- Santonio F1 - baby plum, supposedly a good replacement for Rosada
- Cherry Cascade - red tumbler, in hanging basket
- Peardrops F1 - yellow baby pear tumbler, in hanging basket
- Outdoor Girl - bush tomato
I mostly grow cherry varieties as they're better in salads. Last year my outdoor toms (First in the Field) suffered a lot of splitting owing to heavy rains, so I'll be mostly growing under cover (or in hanging baskets that can be moved indoors).
I'd like to phase out the F1s eventually, but since I don't have a lot of space I don't need many seeds each year, so a packet will last me for as long as the seeds remain viable.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
