So what would you choose.........

[Creemteez]

I grew my Roma outdoors this year - and the Costoluto. They got blight eventually - but it wasn't till late in the season. Maybe it wasn't a bad blight year?

PAH! I got blight INSIDE the bladdy greenhouse!!!!!

[Bramble_killer]

I found Roma got lots of BER, maybe it was just my set of seeds?

Tigerella was fine outside, flavour ok. Not grown all the others yet so can't comment, need to decide what to sow this year..

Sorry to show my ignorance, but what's BER please?

Sylvan, its blossom end rot when the bottom of the tomato goes sunken and black.... I had it on a couple .......

Blossom End Rot.

For me - I would grow 1 costoluto mainly as the plants themselves are a bit of a random grower and with the same space, i can get 2 or 3 vine toms in there.

The French Blacks - not to keep bigging these up but they really are a wonderful tomato and well worth growing a few extra plants if you can squeeze them in.

Thank you.

Good lass. You know it makes sense!

Another vote for the tastiness of PW's French Blacks. I grew mine outside last year and they did very well, so you don't necessarily have to squeeze them into the GH

[binley100]

Are you guys on some sort of commission....? Seriously tho' I am convinced and will try some outside as well......

And if anyone has any spare armpits of the magic PW French blacks, I'm back on 15 March

[Pompeylottie]

where can you buy French Black seeds please?

I wish my space was limited, I grow far too many!

My space is limited and I still grow far too much

If you are growing a tomato for making sauce then Amish Paste and Roma are very much the same, so you could choose one of these rather than growing two the same.
I grew Tigerella last year and was'nt overly impressed with it, so like a lot of others on here I would grow Sungold which is so tasty and gives a great crop.
Good luck with your choices as I go through this every year and always end up sowing too many and cramming in as many as I possibly can.
