Snapper Tomatoes

Only one way to find out I'll try a couple now and report back !

I've also seen 'Taxi' on the American Johnny's Seeds website:
Taxi

Looks like a good variety, said to be early, so could be well suited for our short summers. Would be interested to see how it compares to Tumbling Tom Yellow and similar.

Only place I've seen it from a UK supplier is Victoriana:

You're going to end up with your own HSL at this rate

I hate being defeated by a seed

On the bright side, I have a baby Vince and who knows what he will grow into. Just hope he doesn't look like Snadger

Haha! I hope he defriends you VC!

Vince tomato

Snadger, how's Vince coming on?
I've found a photo of them



Tomato ~ Vince
Donated by John Yeoman; vigorous variety producing yellow, ribbed, plum-shaped tomatoes up to 8cm (3 in) in length. Perfect as a stuffing tomato, it very much resembles a pepper even when cut.

The good news is - mine is turning yellow and looks just like those

Glad you are having success with your plant.I haven't grown them yet but here's a little more about Vince A4A SEED SAVER GROUP 2015 | Seed Savers Circle towards the bottom of the list.

And the similar looking Vincent Vincent - Tatiana's TOMATOBase

I've grown Taxi a few times and think they are a good bush variety, pretty early and set well outdoors. Flavour is not earth shattering but quite edible (bear in mind I'm not a big yellow tomato lover) and they do pump out the fruits.
