[Topcat36]

i'm quite good, only 2 varieties of carrots and brussels the rest only 1. But this is my first year at growing veg properly so we shall see. Once the raised beds are built who knows. Oh forgot about the sweet peas about 7 of those.

[Meschuee]

Only one, "Wilma".

My OH doesn't really like tom's not even tomato based pasta sauces ...... and I have more than 1 plant of each

so what do you do with them all then?


i think tho, the more you do this growing vege lark the more you want to challenge yourself, so i dont think you're mad....i'm quite jealous actually. i'd like lots....mainly ones to make sauce from, but this year i'll only be growing one or two variaties!.

[MrsC]

Are we only talking toms and inside at the moment lol? I have about 25 plants - roughly 6 varieties, but lots more inside and in the greenhouse etc etc. Mr C claims that the plants inside are blocking out the sunlight. I don't agree

[womble]

Fifty different chillies! You must really like hot stuff Mrs Jackson.

I have

Gardeners Delight (wombles variety, saved the best tasting seed for a few years)
Ferline
Purple ukraine (zazan saved seed, looking really good btw)
Garden pearle.
San Mizano
Sactolone


I think that's it, it's not about the different types, it's the amount of fruit on each one that counts

[Comfreyfan]

San Marzano
Golden Sunrise
Black Krim
Green Zebra
Black Cherry
Tigerella
French Black

I've managed to cut right back this year and have kept a mazimum of 8 plants of each - of course I only have room in the greenhouse for 2 of each, but that's not really the point is it? If it germinates and it's growing, I feel obliged to pot it on - after all the effort the seed has made to actually break out! And I've decided not to grow any outdoor this year - between the weather and blight last year it was just too disappointing - and I ended up with tomatoes everywhere, the watering took ages!

btw - I grew Black Cherry last year and they were lovely - tasty, prolific and they cropped for ages - even after I'd stopped watering and left them to their own devices at the end of the season.

[Lavenderblue]

I've got loads of different varieties on the go
Black tulua
Brandywine
Latah
Armish Paste
Blaby
My own mystery tomato
Milliefleur
Galina
and a few more I can't remember

i am a bit obsessed with growing my own tomatoes you know. Gawd knows where exactly i am going to put them all though.

[coreopsis]

Tomatoes-I planted 10 seeds from each variety but the germination rate is different.I just want to check if I manage to grow any of them outdoors.I have 6 varieties:

Costoluto Fiorentino(anybody grew them?)
NimbusF1(forgotten seeds from about 3 years back-germinated no problem)
Aurora
Grushovka
Tigerella (from seed swap)
Gardener's Delight

I'm also a bit of a cuke enthusiast so I have 4 varieties:

Burpless Tasty F1
Parisian Pickling
Marketore (from seed swap)
Bedfordshire Prize

Beetrot-another favourite:

Crimson King
Detroit
Chioggia(curiosity)

I also love growing flowers from seed but this is for another thread
