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 – 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
Tomato – Baby Pink Plum (F1)
A pink cherry F1 Hybrid tomato on Indeterminate plants Description Along with a number of other F1 Hybrids, this is a free packet of seeds I’ve been given in 2022.

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 – Beams Yellow Pear
Yellow – Pear shaped Cherry tomato on Indeterminate Plants From the 2019 Seed Swap, grown in 2021. A Yellow, pear shaped large cherry tomato, not much like anything we’ve grown before. Its a bit large to use as a salad tomato but its a good flavour and, being a slightly unusual shape, is fun to…… Continue reading Tomato – Beams Yellow Pear
Tomato Black Mauri (Black Moor)
A black cherry tomato on indeterminate vines. Description Another cultivar from the 2019 seed swap that we grew for the first time in 2021. It sounded similar to brown berry or black cherry but the shape was very different and we ended up with something much more like Black Plum (although the colour was a…… Continue reading Tomato Black Mauri (Black Moor)
Tomato Craigella
A standard Red tomato on Indeteminate vines Description Another of the selection from the 2019 seed swap that we didn’t have the space to grow, this heritage cultivar is said to be a selection from Ailsa Craig with very similar properties but without the greenback problems. If that’s the case then (unfortunately) it goes on…… Continue reading Tomato Craigella
