Tomato help required

[ChrisH54]

Have just received some free tom plants. They are, Moneymaker, Olivade,Shirley,Sweet Million and Big Boy. I know Moneymaker well but the others are new to me. I have googled and found they are all inderminate however I am convinced that I have read that at least one of them is best grown in a green house and can't find out anywhere. Could someone here help? I have also read that Olivade are great for sun drying? In this country???
Thanks as always
Chris

Lucky you, Chris Always nice to get freebies!
The Shirley are the ones to keep in the greenhouse, I think. Moneymaker definately are ok in or out, I've grown them before. Not 100% sure about the others, but I'd be tempted to keep the Big Boy in the greenhouse too, they're a beefsteak, so might need the warmth early & late to ripen the fruit?

Thanks Sarah
Thought it might be Shirley wasn't sure about the Big Boy when I googled I got mixed messages Now I have to find room for them along with the several sungold and cucumbers!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to decide if the sweet million are going into a hanging basket or not.

Big Boy is nearly always recommended as an indoor tomato. It will crop outside however.

This year I am trying one in the greenhouse but usually they have to go outdoors.

Basically you can probably grow any of them in or out - but you need to have good control over ventilation and watering.

By the way, sun drying is replicated in the UK by oven drying or using a purpose built food dryer.

sweet million are bush i think

I think they're a cordon.

Perhaps someone who has actually grown them could put us out of our misery!
