What tom varieties are you planting next year?

Post: # 71250Post mew »

Question is in the title really?

I planted alicante this year and suffered with bacterial leaf (in greenhouse) and blight (outside greenhouse).

Any questions for great tasting and disease resistant varieties?

This year, i planted Pomerino Ciliegia, Roman Striped, Gardeners Delight, The Amatur, America 3and big boy.

All except one plant has suffered blight. I thin that one plant is a pomerino ciliegia, but i#m not quite sure.

So next year, i probably won't plant tomatoes at all :(

I'll certainly be planting Ida Gold again. It has cropped nicely for me two years in a row with orange, plum-sized tomatoes. Really nice.

All my toms which were outdoor were hit by early blight this year. I was lucky to have 15 plants in the greenhouse which escaped. Most of the cherry varieties seemed to have the best resistance to the blight. I will also grow Ferline and Shirley.

I did gardeners delight... which even though the plants clearly have blight (in gh) are still cropping and inca - a plum variety which got blight really badly. i did still get q crop though as picked all the toms green and ripened in the house

dont think i shall be doing inca again, even tho the toms are lovely, but will choose something with blight resistance.

Tigerella has always been a favourite of mine, although this years yields are right down. Last year I got 20 stone of toms from 60 plants.

I tried Seeds of Italy's Red Cherry this year and will give it a go next year too. There are literally hundreds of flowes on each plant but few are fruiting down to the weather. Those that have fruited are fantastic.

Both Principe Borghese and San Morzano 2 were disappointing. Seeds of Italy packets have, in some cases 300 seeds in, so I am likely to giv them another go next year simply to use up the seed and hope that the weather is better.

I would also be tempted to try a blight resistant variety next year.

Probably Garden Pearl cherry tomatoes. Have had no problems indoors or out, although they are all in containers, and have had huge yields.

This year I had Brandywine, Apricot Brandywime, Sungold, Moneymaker, Tigerella, Roma and Green Sausage.

Next year will definately repeat Apricot Brandywine, Sungold and Roma - others will depend on space and mood at time of sowing.
