Same experience here with Tigerella. I read somewhere that Tigerella
is a "sub-variety" of Moneymaker; I don't know if it's true, though
it's credible from the taste. (A neighbour regularly grew Moneymaker
for sale on a small scale with lots of rotted fym, and let the
tomatoes ripen before offering them: they were better than the
supermarket ones, but I still wouldn't recommend them.)

'Moneymaker' says it all really. You can't help thinking if it had a
decent taste it would have been given a better name!


I grew Moneymaker in the greenhouse and I am still picking them, they
taste O.K.ish picked fresh and the skins are soft but I wont grow them
again, dont quite know what to try next year, will keep reading the
thread and decide.


I grew some totems this year, and would not bother again.
There was also a shirley, and a gardener's delight in my collection,
and as I lost the labels (they were mauled by the mower), I'm not sure
which is which, but one of those split like mad after picking, and the
other was nice.
Still, the lot were relatively disappointing. I really need to invest
in a small greenhouse.
