Hi Chris
Garden Pearl has been around for many years now and is a very tasty little
tomato. I grow them in pots so a growbag, or a hump in the garden sounds
good.
I've never had any problems with fruits rotting, they have always been a
good little tomato to grow. They turn white before they turn red which may
be why they are called parden pearl.

On the windowsill are ten seedlings of Thompson & Morgan
Gartenperle bush tomatoes - about three inches high - and I have a month
in which to decide what to do with them.

There is no greenhouse and so they've got to go outdoors one way or
another. Or perhaps I could keep a couple on a windowsill?

Before, when I've grown a bush variety there has been a lot of trouble
with rotting fruits - and I'm wondering about the best way to avoid
that.

How about a long hump of earth, covered with fleece, and then plant
through crosses cut in the fleece, with slug pellets under the fleece?

Or are there better ways?
