Tomato Gallery

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.

I really like Latah, I used to grow it lots but it doesn't like the cold. It is very quick from seed to ripe fruit though if kept in a greenhouse.
I would keep undercover and then move out when greenhouse space started to get tight. Usually one of the first to give fruit and most often in early June.
