There was a program (Channel 4 I think) a few weeks back about commercial
growing in the Channel Islands, and about a couple of firms which had
been growing tomatoes for decades.
One was finally closing up shop, the other was still going strong.

The one still going strong was getting some fantastic yields - IIRC up
from 4Kg per plant to 40Kg per plant.

Do you happen to know the name of the growers, because I might be able to
find out what variety they grow. Only might, mind you! Was it in
Guernsey?

The variety I was seeking was the yellow/orange one I got from HomeBase :-)
