Tomato Taste Test - again!

I have grown these for the first time this year "German Orange" they are all huge and I picked this 1 to early, I waited for the next to go orange and they are delicious.

 

Looking good John.
Best try to save some of those Armish again this year as the ones you sent back to me just never happened this year.
If fact toms are a washout and only just keeps us going for butties.
Better luck next year.

 

I think its 8/9 each plant ,they grow 3/4 to a truss and I only let 3/4 fruit, they have very few seeds inside its all meat
That tomato weighed 13oz
I have saved quite a few seeds ,if any one interested pm me

 

I can confirm that Rosada can get blight just as bad as everything else, but Koralik growing next to them remain completely untouched and without the benefit of any anti-fungicidal treatment.

I'm sure I got my seeds from Realseeds, but they're not their 2011 catalogue any more, but perhaps they're just sold out as a Google reveals something previously included about limited supplies of seed. So I'll make sure Im save plenty of my own seeds for next year.

 

I reckon I've got about 900 Koralik seeds saved already, but I get a bit obsessive with seed saving and will still do a few more.

 

inspired by this, Ive decided to try
Gartenperle (bushy)
Roma VF ("cooking")
Brandywine Black (Liked the name)
next year to make a change from the normal Gardeners Delight etc - I have an excess of seed so if anyone wants a dozen or so seeds of above drop me a PM.

 

Anyone have any reccomendations for an outdoor variety that's good for slicing? We grow the sungolds for our cherry type but I want a nice tasty one I can slice and eat with lime, feta cheese and a bit of garlic salt. DROOL!!

John,

For a yellow Tomato, not quite as sweet as Sungold, you could try 'Sungella" its sweet with a lovely tangy tomato aftertaste, its a heavy cropping sungold hybrid, in the photo below the smallest tom is sungold size the largest is the size of a Moneymaker.....Dripping in fruit!



Steve...

 

Grew 3 Losseta plants that are meant to be blight resistant & have so far not suffered.

Had a touch of blight at West Bay, but picked the affected toms & sprayed with boardeux mix & its not spread.



Had about 5 times again as this much & they are still coming.

 

Hey John

Yes, I did, in a pot and 2 hanging baskets. They are small, but lots of them.

Here's some Car Dried Tomatoes,



Now they are tasty
