Default Tomatoes (was Rhododendron in bloom again!)

I've only ever had decent ones in the south of Spain. No idea what variety
they are but they're all over the markets there.

Ask me who threw the seed packet away for the tomatoes I had this year?


Trawl Google and see if any names look familiar!

All I can tell is that mine went in VERY late, grew like Topsy in a little
lean-to plastic greenhouse (12.99, Robert Dyas), then went outside in pots
(12") for a couple of months, then went into gro-bags (the cheapest ones)
when I needed the 12" pots for something else. They got flooded for about
two months of the time, then roasted in the sun. Tomorite as directed, and
they're on the automatic plant watering system.

I guess I'm just lucky, cos I haven't got any idea (as regular readers will
know), and I've got the best, tastiest, an most prolific tomatoes I've ever
had.



There is *definitely* no justice.....
