Never heard of any of the tomatoes on your list, @eatenbyweasels !

 

Neither have I!

 

Both De Barao have good marks. Wild Fred must be from dwarfs project (I'm growing Purple Heart and Shadow Boxing from the same series). Chio chio san very popular prolific cherry type tomatoe. Some varieties on the list are translit from the names in the original language.

@Alisa Thank you. Yes, some of the names may, upon research, turn out to translate to names that I have actually heard of. Chio Chio San looks scrummy!

 

I've just received an update email to say my order is confirmed paid and being processed.

Edit. Got my tracking number.

 

My p&p was £8 for 36 packets. That sounds high but the total order was £19.06, so it works out at just 53p per packet, including postage. The lowest you can go on postage is £7 something, so you might as well fill your boots.

 

My first ripe tomato of the year, Veranda Red growing outside.

 

Had my first four honeycomb not as tasty as sungold but quite good, they will probably get better as i find first toms sometimes not as tasty as later ones , plus i have been on holiday for two weeks and they have had no liquid feed just water from quadgrows piped from outside tap with a timer
