Shirley tomatoes growth habit

Hi

I am growing two plants of the variety Shirley tomatoes in the greenhouse ,,, I also have Alicante, Sungold and two Manx Marvel ...

My question is Shirley a spindly growth normal compared to other varieties ...

but saying that its been the first one to flower and set fruit so should be the first to be picked ...

I always grow Shirley, it does grow tall and always a good crop..... Well fingers crossed this season

 

These were Shirley grown outside a few years ago.

I wouldn't say spindly, but might be different in the greenhouse.

 

Also growing Shirley and SunGold in the greenhouse which were a bit spindley to start with but both now set on the third truss.
A regular is Gardeners Delight but they have been terrible and very badly drawn to 3ft and no flowers !
Tried taking some sideshoots as cuttings but they also grew very weak, just saved one to see if it will recover, dumped the rest they were so bad ?!

So odd as nothing really changed in the greenhouse, even the compost is the same Jacks Magic but as we all know , composts can change year to year ...
