Don't grow cherry type Toms as we wouldn't use them, neither of us would
dream of eating a Tom like a grape, yuk, we eat them cut up in salads and

with
little other flavour.

The problem is my wife loves cherry tomatoes, so there is no choice in
the matter. She has grown some yellow pear shaped variety, and they
have not succombed to blight but I have not tasted them so far. I like
my tomatoes to be red and the last time I grew the beefsteak variety,
I had terrible trouble trying to stake them. The plants become so
heavy.

Yes, two branches have split off our Legend variety because the Toms are so
heavy. Mind you our neighbour reckons we must be supplying Sainsbury's with
the number of plants we have this year. :-)
