A Rare Vintage Tomato

I don't grow Tomatos, only because when i eat one i've got to run to the loo asap, but i don't no if the old Tomatos would to the same?

 

To much info Jiffy

 

In the main, mine were grown outside. But, the cooler weather came earlier than the complete ripening of the fruits, so they were moved to my b-a (with 'door' left open) to give some protection

The taste wasn't 'explosive' but neither was it bland. To be fair, I did prefer them cooked rather than raw though.

 

Finally......I can post again and not just read threads..

 

Thanks everyone...

 

Just to follow on from Johns post. Nineteen out of twenty MM seeds germinated in my electric propagator.

 

With out thoughts turning to the new growing season I thought I'd give this thread a bump. Come on all, give 'Manx Marvel' a go!

 

I don't grow Tom's has expianed post #46 and don't have greenhouse, but being they can be growen outside and they are old variety of tom's i may give them a go if there is any spare seeds I'll be a last resort

 

Aren't many people going to grow Manx Marvel this season? I've never grown toms before but FC very kindly sent me some maskotka seeds to try outdoors in containers this year although I have got a little blow away so I may try some in there too. I think that will be enough for me this year due to lack of space, experience and facilities but things could change in 2015 so I may ask for some Manx Marvel then if there are any available.

 

I'd stick my name down for some, but as things stand, I'm not sure if I will be growing any tomatoes this year...

 

Bump
