tomato varities

Can anyone suggest some different varities of tomatoes to grow outside, please?

 

I grow gardeners delight. Just a baic one really, nothing fancy, but came up really well the last two years

 

This year i'm trying tornado. I've never grown outdoor tomatoes so i don't know how they'll perform but they're looking really well at the moment.

 

I just take the tomato that I fancy, take the seeds from it, dry them and put them in the soil...Bit too wild, perhaps...

 

I grow a variety called "Tumbler". Quite small fruits but lots of them. You don't have to side-shoot them or anything just feed them and let them grow. The g-children love them and they are at their most prolific between July/August, right in the middle of the salad season. My mate grows them in hanging baskets.They've always been successful for me but I do live right on the South Coast so the weather is probably warmer than many other places, I find that two plants produce enough for us and two hungry g-children, good luck

 

Tomatoes plants produce quite a lot of fruits, which besides don't ripe at the same time so you get the chance to eat exactly the ones that you prefer...

 

I am trying outdoor girl this year I think the name says it all and if they grow in Aberdeen I think they will be fine in Kent. Last year I manage a few small fruit of a cherry tomato plant ( that is what said on the lable). I put one outside in a hanging basket, it managed well compared to the one in the greenhouse which my son forgot to water whilst I was on holiday.

 

I'm growing tomatoes from seed for the first time ever - not one of life's early adopters, me! I've grown Gardener's Delight and so far I have 130 strong and healthy seedlings.
No, I have no idea at all about what I'm going to do with that many tomato plants!

 

How long did it take you to sit down and count them !

 

I didn't need to count them individually - they're in two modules which hold sixty plants each and there are ten left over.
Ta Daahhh!

 

Smart botty

 

I've grown outdoor tomatoes for years in the North-East and have found the popular Gardener's Delight to be as good as any. I prefer this variety because the fruits are small but plentiful so you're never short of fruit from July right through to September and any unripe fruit will ripen quickly indoors. I often grow a second variety just for something different and I can recommend Tigrella and Sungold. This year I'm trying a variety that I haven't grown before which is called Sweet Million. I would be interested to hear any comments from anyone who has grown this variety outdoors.

 

I'm also trying tomatoes for the first time outdoors. Is the feeding regime the same as under glass?

 

I grow gardeners delight , golden sunrise and this year the guest tomato is moneymaker. I start mine of on the windowsill and when the weather is warm enough, they all go outside except for one plant of each variety.

They all generally do okay, providing the weather is not too wet. I feed and water the same regime as my indoor toms.

 

I'm growing Money Maker and Gardeners Delight, both good croppers and reliable.
