Sweet and juicy is just fine by me Johnjoe .... Doesn't really matter what they look like unless your showing them at Chelsea or Tatton. Once they're are chopped in a salad or sliced, who knows anyway.

Thank You Alanb, I Suppose I am a bit harsh on them they are not that bad looking. But they are a lovely tomato, one will make 2 sandwiches

I have this one too. Thought I would try it. Huge plant and huge fruits, but still green at the moment. Thanks for showing it Johnjoe. Nice to know what they taste like.

Hi, JJ, this sort of tomatoes are called "farmerĀ“s tomatoes" and they are highly appreciated on local markets, as they are juicy. On the other side, they are not available in large food chains.

I have picked my first one, but haven't eaten it yet. They are huge aren't they, I have had to tie up the plants because of the weight of the fruit on them.

Cinderella,, I hope you enjoy them, my neighbour bought a packet from the internet and gave me a seedling. Gosh they do get big and juicy, try them with a fry, sausage and rashers. They are just gorgeous.
