This year we grew, amongst others, some Indigo Rose tomatoes out on our
allotment. What a waste of time and effort. Despite daily watering they
suffered badly from Blossom End Rot, a bit of rain and then they started
splitting, took ages to ripen too. Finally got to taste a decent one and
just no taste at all certainly compared to Ferline. A failed experiment.
I usually grow Sungold tomatoes which are excellent apart from the skins
being slightly tough. I usually feed them with Tomorite. A friend has
suggested watering with Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) once a week.
Any views?
We like to also use our Tomatoes for cooking, not sure a yellow fruit
would make a nice looking sauce. But I have heard they are tasty.
The Old Brooks did make a superb sauce tonight so will give that one
another go.
