Well until 2 years ago I DID grow really flavourful toms, but the last 2
years nothing but disaster, & really can't eat those shop bought ones, even
the so called 'vine grown' taste awful:
Even though I used new soil, new plants, they all died of some type of
disease. The stalks went brown & the gradually the whole plants died off. I
believe it is some type of virus, but I did do all the recommended thing
like using fresh soil, not using the old stakes & even using brand new
garden tools that had never seen my garden before!
Oh well I have promised myself that I will try once more again this year.
BTW I live in Sydney

I am sure this has been answered many times before, but I have just found
this area.

A million years ago when I was a child we had great tasting tomatoes.

I lived then near Barmera, South Australia, and we grew our own.

I now live in the suburbs of Cairns in Far North Queensland, and the
commercially grown tomatoes have little or no taste.

Sure some of this can be attributed to my aging palate, but are there any
types of tomatoes that are full of taste that can be home grown these
days?

My garden here is a garden full of tropical plants, for view not for
eating,
and I decided to put in a few tomato plants, any pointers on tasty
tomatoes
and their growning would be appreciated.
