Tomato

[sherbert]

Hi All
Have got my 1st allotment and it has a polytunnel (currently with about 8in water)
Am sadly looking at tomato seeds for the summer
would like to grow
1 big sized tomato
1 medium
1 cherry

Any suggestions to help me

Big = Marmande

med = Shirley

Cherry = Ilde

Im a big lover of cherry toms, i also grow balconi red and Balconi yellow, black cherry and sweet baby. However, Ilde is just sensational for hundreds and hundreds of sweet, marble size yellow toms.

Why are you sad about looking at tomato seeds ?

Big - Amish paste
Med - 'can't really recommend an outstanding variety'
Cherry - Goldkrone or Sungold

I grow Amish Paste and Kenilworth St George too. Amish paste are particularly good with loads of meaty flesh but can be rather ugly looking so don't let that put you off.

I know Sungold are very popular but I find them too sweet as I prefer my little toms to be a bit acidic. Can't remember which ones I grew last year but a good half of them ended up being eaten straight off the vine although mum found they gave her acid reflux so she'd probably have preferred the Sungold
