Best toms for greenhouses?

[StephenH]

Now I've got a cheapo flat-pack gh from Wilko, I think I'll use one side of it to grow toms, as well as the outdoor ones. Any recommendations of varieties that are especially good for greenhouses?

[elsie-scot]

So many to choose from. We tried about 4 different ones last year and our favourite was gardeners delight (small). Trying a few others this year. Make sure your GH are cordons (grow up a mainstem) rather than bush plant

Never grown them myself as I try and stay away from F1 varieties but my father swears by Shirley and they do taste good :-)

[rustylady]

Wouldn't be without Sungold.

I think I'll put a dampener on again.

It depends what you like. When I started, we tried loads of different varieties until we found ones that suited us, singly and jointly. So just scrounge a few of a lot of types and try 'em.

My favourite ones last year where the French Black ones I had off Pigletwillie from ones he'd saved from some he'd bought but as said above, it's all subjective. Buy two or three varieties and see what you like. However would suggest that if you've never grown them before that you don't try the beef steak ones as I always think these are slightly more difficult to get right.

Our fave last year was alsa craig and tigrella. Wedid about 6 differentvarieties, plums were disappointing and smaller ones fidly. Tigrella made us salivate! MMM yummy

Oh good - I'm growing Tigerella this year! Also Golden Sunrise, Purple Ukraine, and Costoluto Fiorentino.
By toms especially suitable for greenhouses, I really meant, I suppose, ones which do less well outside in our climate. One of my gardening books divides its tom recommendations int ones suitable for cooler climates, and ones for warmer climates. 'Amish Paste' is among the latter group, so I may try it again next year, in the gh. I tried it last year, but lost all but three fruit to blight.

I prefer to grow them outside and am trying a variety called Sub Arctic Plenty which should be suited to our summers

Another vote for Shirley here.

I tried Sub Artic the year before last - total disappointment - not the taste though - never got that far, they just withered and died outside. I lurve red cherry (cordon type), small enough to pop in yer mouth as you de-side shoot and deliciously sweet. Strangely enough I never liked tomatoes until I grew my own - still detest any shop bought ones - like chewing golf balls and tasteless to boot

[bramble]

have grown Sub Arctic Plenty and was disappointed at the few toms it produced. Will definitely recommend Shirley and Sun gold which produces loads of orange cherry sized toms with a lovely flavour. Ferline is another good cropper and has some resistance to blight.
There are so many toms and of course we all have our favourites.
P.s. Must also recommend Black Cherry.

[Madasafish]

Sub Arctic has no taste in my view.

Gave them up..

[Patchninja]

That'll be interesting then! I'm growing Harzglutt as well and a yellow pear cherry. Love them.

I will be growing Moneymaker and Sweet Cluster this year, which are supposed to be greenhouse varieties. The photo was taken two weeks ago and they are starting to flower already. Perhaps I will have toms in early June this year.
