A Reddish/Brown Cherry tomato on Indeterminate Plants Description This tasty cherry tomato is bred from Sweet Aperitif and so has a wonderful sharp taste.

Tomato – Big League (F1)
Red Beefsteak F1 Hybrid Tomato on Determinate plants. Description Another of the free seeds which might be tried in 2022. Large fruit (around 1 lb) on determinate plants makes this variety suitable for container growing, so we will grow it outdoors, rather than in the greenhouse. It looks as though it will need a lot…… Continue reading Tomato – Big League (F1)
Tomato – Summer Frolic
Early, Red Standard Tomato on Indeterminate Plants Description Another of the packets of free seeds received in 2022. The description suggests that its “just another” small to medium standard red tomato, similar to Moneymaker, etc. (although it may be slightly smaller). The wording also suggests that it is “exceptionally early” although other places give “cropping…… Continue reading Tomato – Summer Frolic
Tomato – Faworyt
Red/Pink Late Harvesting Beefsteak on Indeterminate plants Description A Polish cultivar ( the name translates a “Favourite”) its variously described as “Early” or “Late” (about 80 days?) and “virtually seedless” to “heavily seeded” so my guess is that its a fairly standard Beefsteak, similar to Mortgage Lifter or Pink Brandywine both of which grow well…… Continue reading Tomato – Faworyt

However growing them outdoors at home where we’re further away from sources of blight was that…… Continue reading Tomato – Crimson Blush
Tomato – Sweet Success (F1)
Red Cherry F1 Hybrid tomato on Indeterminate plants. Description This cherry tomato is said to have a superb flavour, lots of heavy trusses and includes resistance to many diseases.

Tomato – Jersey Devil
Red, long shaped, cooking tomato on Indeterminate Plants Description An excellent cooking tomato which crops heavily and cooks well (provided you let it get really ripe). We grew it for the first time in 2021 from the 2019 seed swap. We would grow it again for cooking (as a salad tomato it lacks flavour). From…… Continue reading Tomato – Jersey Devil
Tomato – Divinity
Compact Semi-Determinate F1 Hybrid tomato with Red Fruit. Description UK bred F1 Hybrid Semi-Determinate tomato, ideal for container growing with reasonable sized fruit. A relatively long harvest season (July to late October depending on the weather), it needs to be compared with cultivars such as Zefen Short and Sandpoint which sound very similar from the…… Continue reading Tomato – Divinity

Red Cherry fruits on Indeterminate F1 Hybrid Plants Description Red Cherry tomato similar to many of the Open Pollinated/Heritage varieties such as Red Berry, Christmas Grapes, etc..
