Tomato Photo Gallery and Info

[Scarlet]

I thought I'd start yet another tomato thread I love a photo or two and I've been looking for some info on a tomato I have grown to find that "someone" has deleted some of my gardening photos on my old computer. Grr... So I'm starting again here with the photos I do have. Please feel free to add any photos of tomatoes you have grown over the years with any growing info.

Yellow Pear

Yellow Pear
This is a cordon, grows small cocktail tomatoes that hang in clusters. Pretty prolific

Buffalo Horn

BUffalo Horn
This is a large cordon tomato, late to ripen but worth the wait.
The fruit hang in trusses of 5-6. Really meaty and great for cooking.

Orange Banana

Orange Banana is a cordon, quite a spindly plant, with large orange paste tomatoes which are great for cooking. I've grown this one many times as it always produces a good size crop. It does need a lot of water and doesn't perform so well in a pot.

Most of my photos got lost in Photobucket Grrr!

[Scarlet]

It's so annoying. I have some photos without names on them as I uploaded here at the time I took them with the names and they were lost too! Frustrating.

Shirley sown in January on the west facing sitting room windowsill, 28/5/17



Balconi Red on the east facing spare room windowsill 28/5/17



Balconi yellow on the same windowsill, same day



The Balconi plants (in 3 litre pots in the photos) were potted up into larger pots (probably 8-10 litre) outside after the fruit in the photos had finished. They carried on fruiting well into October.

One of the Balconi tomatoes from the above photo (I think this was the red one) is in the middle of this picture taken 1/10/17, in front of the net.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Think I will be stealing Marks thunder here a little, but all my photos of tomatoes are on my new laptop parked in the loft which I have not used in a while!

So iPad it wil have to be

Summer cider!



A delicate citrus tasting potato leafed beef steak, excellent juicy slicer for sandwiches

As said before, not a lover of beef steaks, but this ticks all the boxes and will be given room every year from now on, even saved my own seed from last year's crop, although late, well, well worth the wait!

Trust me!

[Scarlet]

I keep meaning to try that one and you've won me over Deano!

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

You will not be disappointed!

Honest!

Violet Jasper

Violet Jasper is a regular leaf cordon tomato that produces heavy yields of large cherry/ salad size fruit with a lovely green/dark red stripey skin. Mild flavour.

Pantano

One of my all time favourite "beef" tomatoes.
Not a huge amount of fruit per plant. I usually grow two stems so that I can stop it early to ripen the early fruit. Fabulous fresh straight off the plant. Great with wine

Black Cherry

Everyone's all time favourite. Cordon, cherry tomato with high yields on a vigorous plant.
Very dark red, almost mahogany flesh. On my grow list every year.
