Ours are very slow despite the greenhouse being nice and warm we only have little marbles at the mo. Have some of the small yellow toms and some others but all cherry type I think.

Perhaps the sun is being magnified by the light bouncing off so many raindrops? Mum used to grow Gardeners Delight very successfully. Dad used to favour Alicante variety. Both good tasting and a plentiful crop. Our children used to love to help pick some Gran grew for them.... Mr Stripey I think they may have been called. Gwyn

Clive, there is nothing better than home grown tomatoes, they taste so much better than the forced supermarket ones. I especially love the small sweet ones. When I was little, a family friend of ours, who originated from Guernsey, used to grow tomatoes, and always gave us loads of the small ones, Tom Thumb was the variety then. They were really the best ever.

You could send me some by parcel post (if the strikes over that is) Nothing like home grown tomatoes! Linda x

We've got lots too, all in the greenhouse.............and a million slugs and snails trying to get them first.

Hi Clive, I have got gardener's delight on my allotment - they are doing fab - loads of flowers :-) just hope there can be some sun now to help the fruit ripen when it comes. Maz. XX

with all this sunshine we are getting all my greenhouse tomatoes are ripening at once. Gardeners Delight they are - nice small sweet ones with lots of toms per plant. I have 4 plants and there are only two of us to eat the toms! C
