Miss/Mrs Kennedy

Kazakcha

Gobstopper

Subject to availability. Quantities vary. PM if interested. If you're looking more for types rather than specific varieties, I can usually put you a decent selection together. Please note that my seeds are overwhelmingly smaller-fruited indeterminates, although I do have a few bush, dwarf cordon and micro dwarf types.

 

Thankyou so much
I will be posting yourseed tomorow

I'm not in need of more varieties at the moment so if you want some, please PayPal me £1.20 ) to cover a stamp and some seed bags. PM me to get it sorted.

 

What did you think was the overall winner this year? you are the master taster!

 

Careful how you say that!

Best performers were:

Copper Currant. Absolute triffid, loaded with fruit. Very tasty.

Norwood Meiners. Pride of my friend's greenhouse. She's had "best tomato I've ever had" feedback from visitors. I grew a rooted side shoot at the front of my house and it romped away.

Bloody Butcher. It just gets on with it. If hubby picks a random tomato from the ripe tray for his butty then remarks how tasty it is, it's usually a Bloody Butcher.

Henry Harringtons. Proper tasting cherry toms on a 30cm plant in May. It was still healthy and producing yesterday when I culled it.

I didn't grow anything that didn't perform at least fairly well, so there are no "bad" varieties on my seed offer list, but above are the standouts.

Thanks, Nigel, I do understand. Even many proper tomato enthusiasts don't have the mindset of some of the more extreme variety fanatics, among us. It can take up a great deal of time researching varieties and some people simply don't have the time to spare. I will keep my fingers crossed, though. There are still some 'tomato-lunatics' out there. No offence intended, as I count myself as one of them.

 

@Fred Clarke the other issue for many, including myself, is space. I can grow 10 to 14 plants in my greenhouse in 15 L pots. Down here outside the greenhouse is a none starter if they aren't munched by molluscs, in many years outside they pretty quickly develop blight. Although this year I could've probably got away with it.

 

Indeed Nigel. We people further north don't appreciate that you have your own problems down south. An earlier season, maybe, but and it's a big BUT - I haven't seen blight in about 20 years. That last bit was whispered and long may that continue.

I am pretty ruthless, though. As soon as outside plants stop producing and it's obvious no more will ripen, they are out and in the Hotbox. I took out my first two this morning (Dino's Eggs and Sgt Pepper's).
