Doing my veg seed order last night I realised what a mess catalogues are
when it comes to tomatoes, instead of grouping them in size etc. they
are all mixed together and it's not easy to find a "Proper" sized tomato
for sandwiches and salad use.
I don't want those little things which seem to predominate the lists.
It's surprising to see how the "Old Varieties" Alicante, etc. are still
around more than half a century after they were launched.

David,

The Dobies catalogue has them all in nice sections,
little ones for greenhouse/garden, then little one for
tubs/baskets, then "proper ones", then large
(beefsteak) ones.

Proper ones include, Alicante, ailsa Craig and
Moneymaker.
