A list of all the cultivar of tomatoes on this site

Tomato Pink Moineau/Petit Moineau

Small Red Cherry tomato on Indeterminate plants. Description From the 2018 Seed Swap. This page will be updated as we find out more information. The web describes it as having small currant tomatoes on an indeterminate vine. This concerned me slightly in that it sounded very similar to Peacevine which we grew in 2018 for…… Continue reading Tomato Pink Moineau/Petit Moineau

Tomato Polish Linguisa

Red elongated plum shaped open pollinated tomato on indeterminate plants. Description From the 2018 Seed Swap, the description on the web sounds much like Red Buffalo Horn, a paste tomato. The first of these ripened in mid-September (but its been a funny year). As you can see, not particularly large (and this was the biggest…… Continue reading Tomato Polish Linguisa

Tomato Rapunzel

Red, Grape shaped Cherry heritage tomato on indeterminate plants. Description From the 2018 Seed Swap and therefore to be grown in 2018.

Its a reasonable flavour and so not a…… Continue reading Tomato Rapunzel

Tomato Raspberry Oxheart

We hoped that this would be a benefit to us as -…… Continue reading Tomato Raspberry Oxheart

Now, that…… Continue reading Tomato Sallisaw Cafe

Tomato Tiger

A medium sized red & brown/green striped tomato Description We got this from the 2018 seed swap and will plan to grow it in 2019. I can’t find a lot about this cultivar on the web, (unless its Pink Tiger in which case I’ve grown it before). However, when we have more of our own…… Continue reading Tomato Tiger

Tomato Violet Jasper

A medium sized red & brown/green striped tomato Description We got this from the 2018 seed swap and grew it in 2019. A really dark, slightly smaller than average striped tomato it has a good taste and is excellent both as a salad tomato and for cooking (although because it was a bad year there…… Continue reading Tomato Violet Jasper

End of the Tomato Season

OK, so that’s it, the season has ended. The last of the tomatoes were picked yesterday, the plants removed and today was spent tidying and sweeping to make sure that everything is neat and tidy for the winter. The total crop wasn’t that large (about 40kg) from about 30 different cultivars. I didn’t spend as…… Continue reading End of the Tomato Season
