THE TOMATO GROWING THREAD 2018

I have been very disappointed

I think mine taste better, however I had such a glut early August I overloaded on them, I slowed right down on eating them towards the middle of August giving most away. I have now started eating quite a few again so thinking they taste better may be a result of overloading. Saying that my crimson crush have been disappointing, I suffered the same as John with fruits varying greatly in size but all had no taste even now. My basket filler Shirley is far better tasting.

 

So then! What is the sweetest cherry tomato then?
My GD have been tasty,.prolific and healthy but it seems the taste for many is not quite as it used to be
I am considering Sweet Petite, Sungold and Sweet Million???

 

Thanks loofah your first choice for cherry tom?

 

Sungold is very tasty too, better than Sweet Apatitif, IMO.

 

Thanks Redwing

 

‘Sungold’ is always my pick, even with the splitting issue.

 

Splitting was the problem I had with Sungold too JWK.
I also like the look of red toms !

 

That is the taste of GD I have been looking for, tangy especially when the jelly around the seeds is still a little green. The plants I am growing this year are very sweet but not tangy. It is hard to differentiate between my gardeners delight, Sun cherry and
sun cherry premium. Once all three are in a bowl together you can not tell which is which when you eat them

Think @Vince has got something to do with this one

 

How about these two then !!

 

I think I may have Zigs........ There's a newer kid on the block for giant tomatoes, bred from "Big Boy" my favourite but claiming to be bigger and tastier, I'll find out next year?

 

No woodlice damage this time.


That is because I used the anti-woodlice barrier fabric.


The heaviest one so far.
