Had myself a little taste test of 3 cherry(?) tomatoes this morning:
1) Alaskan Fancy - semi bush - quite a large Red cherry fruit, I found this quite bland and doubt I'd grow again
2) Latah - bush - smallish red cherry - meant to be early and I sowed early but I had stunted growth problems with the 3 plants, lost 2 and thought I'd lose the 3rd, it survived but was no longer early. I will aim to save seeds of this and try it again as I found it very tasty
3) Black Vernissage - cordon - Dark Red/Black Cherry with green flecks - attractive fruit but I found the taste quite disappointing, it was Ok but nowt special. I will aim to save seeds.
Verdict - Latah was the clear winner to me much tastier than the other two.
