On the basis of flavour first and yield second, which tomato
variety do you favour?
Don

Sweet Million are my first choice, a cherry type with a wonderful
flavour which crops very heavilly outdoors. They are an expensive
seed £2.55 for 20 seeds!

Gardeners Delight are my second choice, another cherry type, a very
nice flavour which crops heavily outdoors. Nice cheap seeds £.99 for
loads of seeds.

Both of the above are early croppers outside, in fact last year I was
taking a FEW late June and could not keep up by mid July and by mid
August I started preserving as well as giving some away right up to
late October by which time they stayed green. But even then in a dark
place they slowly ripened. BTW I had 22 plants, and this year I will
cut back.

I have no third choice now, don't need one.

I would urge you to grow Sweet Million and in a greenhouse if you
have one (I have not got one or the room to put one in) and you will
not be disappointed I promise.

I'll try the Sweet Million next year instead of Gardeners Delight I
think. Don

Gardeners Delight are scrumptious, feed them on the the bottom only
otherwise you might get the dreaded blight.I mean feed the roots only.
Do not water the foiliage!
I wish you well.
