| If you can grow good tomatoes here, would you recommend a variety that does well for you? Thanks. Wobur |

| Hi,wobur. I've had a lot of success with the "Tumbling" varieties. Three plants produce enough for us two and two hungry g-children. They've been great this year, even with the rubbish weather. Haven't had to buy toms. since I tried them, 3 years ago. Admittedly, the fruits aren't very big but they taste O.K. I live on the South Coast so the weather shouldn't be that much cooler where you are. All the best |

| This is my third year growing tomatoes (only outdoors) and don't ask me how, they're ripening earlier than ever this (summerless) year. As far as I can remember most of the plants that I have this year are called "Gardeners Delight" or something like that. I've already eaten 4 or 5 this year and they're absolutely divine. Once you've grown your own tomatoes you'll never touch those Dutch water bags again. |

| oh yes, this year we tried 7 different varieties, all outdoors in containers. The cherry tomatoes have won the competition for taste so far, the best one was 'Sungold F1'. |
