2024 Tomato Grow List

Here are my two surviving cleft grafted plants, now doing very well in the ground. You can also see the drip irrigation I installed a few weeks ago. The brown stuff is a top dressing of coffee grounds, the white stuff is ground egg shell.

Is the eggshell a calcium additive or a slug deterrent?

Leaning more towards calcium, but on a whim I just saw it in a tub and decided to sprinkle it around. Usually it goes in the wormery.

Think I’m growing this year
Ramblings red stripe. In hanging basket
Black Russian
One other which I’ll be asking your advice on. Just as soon as I’ve worked out exactly what varieties I have.

Thanks to all the advice I got from you lot. My grow list completely changed too 

Mountain princess (standard size Tom)
Reinhards purple sugar (cherry)
Mat-su express (beef)
Pendulina (cherry hanging basket)

I must say I’m very impressed with Pendulina . I’m planning on saving seeds, even before I’ve tried one. They’re producing fantastically. And they’re definitely a large cherry tomato. About golf ball size the biggest ones,  and still not ripening yet.
