Matts hornet is staring at me

I've sown some Honeydrop today. If they are indeed Medovaya Kaplya, it's supposed to be one of the best tasting yellow pear varieties. Did you perhaps get them from Seaspring Seeds, Sarriss?

They may well have been TMTT! I'll have a look in my emails to see if I can find the order

It's interesting how different people's tastes in tomatoes are. I've not found an orange or yellow tomato I really like yet so I don't bother with them much anymore. Black tomatoes are my favourite by far, followed by reds. Pinks I find a bit too mild, I like a balance of acid and sweet instead of more of one or the other.

Why no potato leaved tomatoes, Veggie?

Im not keen on orange or yellow's either, black toms are definitely my favourite. Though I did find orange banana a great one for cooking.

I have grown Berkeley Tye Dye a few times and loce it.... I thought I would grow a couple again this year and my seedlings are potato leaf! Bkd had regular leaves doesnt it? 

I dont have much room but will grow one to see what I get. 

Black cherry are my favourites I've got 8 plants.
Then I'm growing one of each of, Gardeners delight, Mini Bell then trying a Tigerella for the first time.

I love black cherry too Bren.
I have half a dozen each of black
Icicle, black cherry and gardeners delight....and also the potato leaf ones. Even though I would like the greenhouse for other things I hated not having loads of tomatoes last year! It will be just me eating them though so maybe I should only grow 2 of each.

Yeah I think all of the Tie Dye tomatoes have regular leaves. Is it your own saved seed? Perhaps it's crossed with another variety.

It was saved seed - maybe they did cross or possibly I've labeled up incorrectly but its a long time ago that I grew a potato leaf variety. I will grow it out of curiosity.

My list for this year is based around -
Mount Vesuvius (x 9 for drying)
Roma (7) & San Marzano (8) for bottling
Raspberry oxheart (5)
Pineapple (4)
Cherry Roma (1)
Gardener's Delight (3)
Brandywine Black (2)
Golden Sunrise (1)
