Paid 935 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I'm also growing sungold,and shirely, plus a few other cherry types. I wont be growing any beef steaks this year, as they just don't produce for me, yet the kids can eat a million cherry toms Edited March 31, 2011 by Paid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Gardners delight (cherry) & Amateur (bush type) at the minute. As well as the Gardeners delight, I grew F1 Sweet million last year, I'm going to pick a packet of those up as well next time I see some, they're really heavy fruiting. We never had to buy a tomato all summer last year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooch. 177 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 "Hundreds and Thousands" is a great trailing cherry tomato. Best planted in a hanging basket it produces fruit not much bigger than a marble but the flavour is intense, and as it's name suggests, there's plenty of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Had some beauties last year, so I'll be going with Tigerella's again this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russellpt6 5 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 All good varieties and as for Hundreds and Thousands i grew them two year age in baskets and they produced some amout tomatoes that were perfect for scoffing a handful. Had to post a armed guard to protect them from the kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

masmiffy 82 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi not into home grown myself but great admiration for all those who do! My great aunt always grew Moneymaker (toms) and Lockies Perfection (cuecumbers) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superfurryanimal 91 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi not into home grown myself but great admiration for all those who do! My great aunt always grew Moneymaker (toms) and Lockies Perfection (cuecumbers) go and get your self some hanging baskets with liners to hold in some moisture, down to your local garden centre for some tumbling toms and some feed, i put three plants in each basket, place in a nice sunny spot and feed and water well in the evenings making sure baskets don't dry out ! try them bud it might get you into home grown veg which once you start is highly adictive. a.t.b sfa p.s the taste is nothing like you get in the shop !
