Well me few plants of Tumbler tomatoes have performed very well and we have
been eating them for a week or two. Next time though, I will grow for
flavour rather than size. Any recommendations please?

If you want to grow in baskets or tubs again, try Garden Pearl. It's a
rather more 'tart' flavour than Tumbler. We've grown a few in hanging
baskets this year and both we and customers like them very much.

Noted, thank you:)

I like Marmande toms. The big 'ugly' ones.
ideal for eating raw,in a sarni, tomato and onion salad, cooking with,
stuffing etc etc.

Tomatoes are one thing I do know a little bit about. My parents had a
tomato nursery near Minehead (or tomato farm as the local yokels call
it). Not sure what variety they grew to sell but Dad always grew
Marmande for home consumption. Too ugly for selling in the market but
delicious especially if eaten still orange not bright red and soft.

For Good looks plus taste I would recommend Roncardo, F1 Hybid.

But for superb taste (and ugly fruit), Ananas Noir is Brilliant.
Eat it while it's dark green and wrinkled with a little salt and
balsamic vinegar. I gave a couple of plants to neighbours and they
never speak to me without mentioning them. Outstanding!
