is anyone growing 'British breakfast' tomatoes?

Hi All,

Someone said to me that these were the best tomatoes they had ever grown and I wondered if anyone was growing them, had grown them? I'm pretty sure he meant that this was the variety and not just tomatoes for breakfast.

I have grown BB for 4 years now they are a plum tom and produce loads of fruit and most of all very tasty.

Never heard of them! I'm growing Roma plum tomatoes for drying, are they similar in size and growth habit.?........also are they F1's?

Snadger,

How are you drying your Roma plum? I'm growing them too, and was thinking of making sauce with them, but am keen to try to dry them too. Unless you've some super-snazzy freeze-dryer?

I would guess that at 25 seeds for £2.10 they are NOT F1 hybrids. There would be 8 seeds in if they were!

Wish I had ! Nope, just halve them, put them on an oven tray, drizzle with oil and a fine sprinkling of sea salt. Put in bottom of oven on lowest heat, with door ajar overnight.
Wake up to a lovely aroma in kitchen!

When you say "lowest heat" - that's 35C on my oven - is that too cool?
