Hello,
I know I've got months to plan, but at the moment I'm looking at all the different types of tomatoes and wondering if it will be possible to grow any outdoors where I live (near Glasgow)?
Last year I had some cherry tomatoes (but I can't remember the variety) in my garden that did ok, but most of them didn't get the chance to ripen! Now I have an allotment I'd like to give a few varieties a go, but as I have no greenhouse I don't know if it will be possible. I have a mini type greenhouse that I can use for the seedlings until it's time for them to go out, but I don't know if there are any varieties that would do well in a cold wet "summer"?!
I've seen a few varieties in the seed catalogues that claim to be suitable for a colder climate - Alaskan Fancy, Glacier, Manitoba - does anyone have any experience of these ones? I'd also ideally like a yellow variety and a cherry tom.
Do you think it would be possible trying to grow some outside, or am I being too optimistic and better using the space for something else?!
TIA!
