2024 - What I sowed today

One of the seed pkts I acquired on the Tues outing was a Suttons pkt of Crimson Blush F1, retailing at £4.49 but priced at 69p and it was in date til 2025. Yes, I've got more toms than I know what to with but who could resist. I sowed some today. I rationalised by using the cell where Divinity didn't germinate for the second year running. That pkt will be binned.

Crimson Blush is the same as Rose Crush I think. Very nice tasting. Premier Seed Direct sell it at £1.39 for 10 seeds.

I don't know why the breeders gave three of the Crimson lines different names. Crimson Cherry, Crimson Cocktail, Crimson Crush, Crimson Blush, Crimson Plum would make sense to me. Instead, they have a mix of those names with the addition of Consuelo, Cocktail Crush, Rose Crush and Nagina.

They really like to confuse us gardeners. Good to have an informed opinion on taste. Every seed pkt says their particular tomato is wonderful and tastes brilliant.  I'm glad I've sown it, especially as it was a bargain, it even beat Prem Seeds.
