How many toms are you growing?

[Scarlet]

I've cut down a lot this year as I've been ruthless with numbers...but I'm thinking I need a few more varieties- panic has suddenly set in! and I also need to sow some more for my grafting Tom experiment

What tomato varieties are you growing and how many have you got on the go?

I've potted them on....I've around 100

But I've also F1 Submarine root stock
Now I need to grow a few more

What varieties are you growing and how many?

[Gman]

Jeez - that’s a lot of tomatoes. I was worried that I was going to overdo it with my 12 plants in total of 3 varieties.

Had 6 plants last year and we didn’t have to buy any tomatoes for about 2 months. What will you do with them all? Presume you will eat fresh but then do you bottle them? Or purée them and store them for the rest of the year?

[Scarlet]

I usually oven roast and then freeze for sauces and I also make chutney and preserves. We eat lots fresh too.
I also have two boys that consume a lot of food which helps

Ailsa Craig
Black Cherry
Black Prince
Blush
Chadwick Cherry
Cosmonaut Volkov
Galina
Indigo Cherry Drops
Latah
Jaune Flamme
Moskovich
Olena Ukrainian
Orange Banana
Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye
Rosella Purple (Dwarf Tomato Project)

Will be growing one of each, except for Latah/Stupice/Urbikany where it'll be two. Have got 2 spares of each to be given away, apart from Galina whose germination rate was abysmal. Ailsa Craig and Olena Ukrainian came free with some seed orders, so I may not grow them on depending on how much space we have left!

[Scarlet]

My Mum loves Ailsa Craig! I sow seeds for her every year ...they are s nice tasting Tom and very reliable.

[veggiechicken]

Here's 16 to start with - the others are in the GH and will have to wait until light.


Bajaja 2
Balconi Red 1
Little Sun F1 2
Minibel 3
Rambling Red Stripe 2
Red Robin 3
Tumbling Tom Red 2
Vilma 1

I dehydrate mine and then soak them in olive oil as and when I need them throughout the year. Delicious.

[Penellype]

I've currently got 12 Shirley, 2 of which were sown in January and now have developing fruit - these are providing sideshoots for potting on, and I will increase the numbers to somewhere around 20 for my friend's greenhouse.
I've also got 3 balconi red on the go and will be sowing the following very soon:
Sungold- 5
Ferline - 4
Oh Happy Day - 2
Brandy Boy - 2
Possibly also Mountain Magic - 2

I may need to lock away the seed packets of the remaining varieties that I have, as I normally grow more than this, but as I have 110 portions of tomato in the freezer from last year and I'm still eating those from 2017 (34 left!) I'm going to have to keep the numbers down. The plan is to grow just enough to eat fresh (plus plenty for my friend), otherwise they will go to waste as the freezers are full.

Outdoors
5x gardeners delight
5x outdoor girl
4x Black Cherry (2 in 2 out)
Indoors
4x White Cherry
3x Kenilworth King George
4x Blush
4x Orange banana
4x Red Buffalo Horn
I only have room for a max of 2 of each of the indoor ones, I've read that Black Cherry may be Ok outside so I will try 2 in and 2 out for that one. What about the others, do you think any of those may be Ok outside or should I use as spares to give to my allotment neighbours.
