i really liked Orange Banana, and will be growing them again this year.

I am also a fan of these although somewhat prone to BER in my experience.

This year I'm growing:

Kumato
Orange banana
Green neck
Dark Southern Nights
Amish Paste
Aranyalma
Sungold
Cherry falls
Chocolate stripes
Noire de Crimée
Black cherry

Will probably end up with another one or two when I've swapped a couple of spares.

Must admit dark southern nights caught my eye as well. But have avoided the urge to google

I have swapped seeds here before (although I'm usually a bit bone-idle about actually saving them) but also disappear for quite long periods.

This is the DSN packet. Only had 15 seeds to start with, to be sown before 2012. Sowed the last two and one germinated, so might be another of this year's Lazarus plants.



I don't see it currently listed at Pennard Plants though. From what I remember, I wasn't overstruck which might be why I haven't used them repeatedly. I'm bone-idle about making notes too though, so I'm looking forward to testing them again this year.

When I grew orange banana in a pot they suffered BER,people on here said they don’t suffer from it in the ground,so last year I planted them in the ground & none of them had BER! Thanks for tip Scarlet & VC I think

Hmmm...I've never grown a tomato in the actual ground before. Might be worth a go if I can find a spot to put it.
