How have your outdoor tomatoes got on?

Derbyshire, United Kingdom Gb

I grew Hundreds and Thousands in my garden this year and have been very pleased by the number of tiny tomatoes that have ripened inspite of the bad summer. Have the larger ones done well? This is my first attempt and I would like to grow a slightly bigger one next year, also outside. Am interested to know how you all got on.

I haven't had a gold tom since I was kid and my granda grew them. I used to love them so should perhaps think about some for next year. There are some colours out there I don't think I wuld like though. Starnge when I bet they taste the same.

We had 5 large pots of toms
had so many I was giving them away to anyone and everyone
wasnt picking them quick enough and a fair few split whist stil on the vine

mainly cherry tom (my fave) the others were beefeater and cant remember the name.
Beef eater I had about 8 this took a great deal off lokking after due to the weight etc

Hi I grew a mixture of tomatoes ( 5 vararities) all outside and got great crops of the small ones, Beefsteak were a dissapoinment this year but they all suffered form a kind of Wilt - leaves went brown and curled up also some of the stems, but the tomatoes themselves were fine and I gave a load away. I have been growing tomatoes for some years and they always do well - mostly in pots/containers - and have never had this problem before. I had always done ok with moneymaker but experimented this year, my son and I grew orange tomatoes as well which were fun, but the cherry tomatoes were the sweetest!

I think i shall opt for cherry tomatoes next year - a bit bigger than the Hundreds and Thousands but still small. I have grown Gardener's Delight in the past and was pleased with them. I don't like the beefeater ones very much.
