        Sorry I've never heard of it.


        A good selection there Loli.

        I've made my main sowing today too. I'm trying to cut down on the number of varieties so only eight:
        Black Cherry
        Black Krim
        Floridity
        Gardeners Delight
        Golden Sunrise
        New Girl
        Sungella
        Sungold

              Hi Lolimac
              Nice varieties except I do not like the black ones I have tried but just do not like the flavour.

              Amish paste
              Amish gold
              Cardeners delight (trying new seeds)
              Vanessa
              Orange Paruche
              Shirley
              Matina
              Sungold
              Shirley
              Potted up the eight earliest sowings into 6" pots

                Found this on a site which suggests bush to me.

                My Lidl "hildare" were brilliant, they germinated easily, grew fast, early flowers, first toms and ripened brilliantly. No signs of any desease/blight etc. Still got one in the ground outside in a sheltered area which is producing ripe toms now-didn't feed this one either, but it grew into a real monster and sprawled about. Loads of tasty tomsthough.
