    Have a look on the Tomato growing thread Fatpanda, the top one is Gardener's Delight.

    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/2013-tomato-growing.48555/


    Can you put your location in your profile, it doesn't sound like you are in the UK.

    [​IMG] Fatpanda.. Yes gardeners Delight is a good one, I also like to grow Beefsteak "Big Daddy" as well as cherry toms.. I usually grow cherry toms & strawberries in hanging baskets to free up valuable ground space.. ;)
    Are you growing Capsicums, chillies, Aubergine (Egg plant) Courgettes (Zucchini) as well?

    Ah, I'd forgotten that that was "hidden" on taptalk ... sorry for hassling you :oopss:

    Probably most popular here is Gardener's Delight. I like Sungold too.

    20 weeks. Start later, with better light/heat, and I guess it might be less than that.
