OK, I have decided that in the interests of variety I should break with tradition and try something different. This year has seen me join the Heritage Seed Library, which offers six veg choices out of a catalogue - all seeds that are in need of a home for sowing, growing and sharing on! My tomato of choice is Cyril's Choice. Let's hope it's mine too!
I will also be growing Blaby Special, a variety dated pre to post war and formerly grown at Shoult's Farm in Leicestshire. I will be resurrecting this old variety in Derbyshire. My hope is to grow enough to collect seed from to share out.
Other tomato varieties I wish to grow this coming year are French Black, Black Russian, Orange Favourite, Striped Roman and one from Germany called Gelbe Koenigin.
To think I told myself not so many tomatoes next year!
