2018 Update

Simple announcement, I’ve now updated the list of tomato cultivars to include those I’ve grown in 2018. That brings to 161 the number listed. 2018 has been a somewhat peculiar year, the tomatoes are early because of the weather. Which is probably a good job because I didn’t do much in the way of thinning…… Continue reading 2018 Update

Tomato Vince

Yellow bell shaped open pollinated tomato on indeterminate plants. Description Vince has yellow, bell-pepper shaped tomatoes with a large cavity and seeds concentrated into a clump in the middle, very similar to Yellow Stuffer. The indeterminate, regular-leafed, plants produce bell-pepper shaped fruit, ideal for stuffing as they are strong walled and nearly empty of seeds.…… Continue reading Tomato Vince

Tomato Goldkrone

Dark Yellow/White Cherry on Indeterminate plants. Also known as Gold Crown. Description Grown for the first time in 2018 with seeds from a seed swap, we were interested to see how this grew and to compare it to other Yellow Cherry tomatoes such as our Oleron Yellow and Nikolayev Yellow Cherry. To be honest it…… Continue reading Tomato Goldkrone

Tomato Gazzi Yellow Egg

Medium Sized Yellow Plum Tomato. Description Grown for the first time in 2018 with seeds from a seed swap, we were interested to see how this grew. It did quite well with a reasonable crop, probably one of the first to ripen in this peculiar year. A early/mid season yellow plum tomato very similar to…… Continue reading Tomato Gazzi Yellow Egg

Tomato Taiko

Small Yellow Plum shaped tomato on an Indeterminate vine. Description Grown for the first time in 2018 with seeds from a seed swap, we were interested to see how this grew. We probably didn’t give it a very good chance as (for some unknown reason) we didn’t bother to thin out the side shoots on…… Continue reading Tomato Taiko

Tomato Yellow Stuffer

Yellow bell shaped open pollinated tomato on indeterminate plants. Description Yellow Stuffer has yellow, bell-pepper shaped tomatoes with a large cavity and few seeds.. The indeterminate, regular-leafed, plants produce a good crop of bell-pepper shaped yellow fruit, ideal for stuffing as they are strong walled and nearly empty of seeds midway through the tomato season.…… Continue reading Tomato Yellow Stuffer

Tomato Yellow Pigmy

Yellow cherry heritage tomato on compact determinate plants. Description Yellow Pigmy is a small yellow cherry tomato that grows on a small but sprawling determinate plant. Similar in some respects to Tumbling Tom Yellow. Its tasty and would be worth growing for the fact that it only takes up a limited space but the fruit…… Continue reading Tomato Yellow Pigmy

Tomato Yellow Brandywine

Yellow beefsteak heritage tomato on indeterminate plants. Description Yellow Brandywine is a beefsteak tomato with possibly the best flavour of all the yellow tomatoes. In 2012 we also grew Azoychka as a yellow beefsteak. Azoychka was slightly more productive but Yellow Brandywine was slightly later so we had a long season of yellow beefsteak tomatoes.…… Continue reading Tomato Yellow Brandywine

Tomato Tumbling Tom Yellow

Small yellow cherry heritage tomato on determinate plants. Description Tumbling Tom Yellow is a yellow cherry tomato “just perfect” for container growing. The early/mid-ripening, determinate, regular leafed, plant is ideal for hanging baskets and containers. It has lots of small sized yellow juicy and sweet tomatoes and is an ideal companion for Tiny Tim and…… Continue reading Tomato Tumbling Tom Yellow

Tomato Transparent

Yellow large cherry open pollinated tomato on indeterminate plants. Description One of many yellow, round tomatoes (very similar to Oleron Yellow, Snow White, etc.). However, the skin doesn’t add colour to the tomato being almost completely transparent (hence the name I suppose). The flavour is a little too mild for us (we prefer something with…… Continue reading Tomato Transparent
