Last year we grew our first ever greenhouse tomoatoes.
We did Sungold and Tigerella.
Sungold were stunning and we will do them again. They are small, orange
and
have an intense sweet flavour.
Tigerella are medium sized and were watery and we wont do them again.

We would like to grow medium sized varieties for cooking and salads. What
are your favourites?

Ailsa Craig are lovely. Moneymakers are very watery and although grow
fast and large are, IMO, tasteless.

thanks June and Rusty; that is already useful.
When you look at the blurb for Moneymaker it sounds perfectly good but it
takes a whole season to try them to find out if they taste any good. They
are probably perfectly useful in terms of speed of growth and disease
resistance but taste is the main reason for doing it youself.

2 votes out of 2 for Ailsa Craig aleady.
