elsie, craig and shirley sound like a z list club band
they came quite tall in 500ml pots, they are now up to the tuft in 17 lt pots and resting under a small tree after a tiring friday night out
from the nice market gardener folk who do ace veg and some "spare" veg plants
no big boys this year, probably best as it will be a short season, it has only just warmed up enough for outside toms

this year I am growing entirely from seeds I saved myself from last year - some from my own home grown tomatoes and one from organic box scheme I liked. I do understand that they wont necessarily breed true - but I think it is likely to have some qualities I like.
So my varieties this year are : sweet olive, orange cherry, yellow cherry plum, riverford red cherry, fiorento,

The organic box cherry might be less likely to be an F1, hopefully 🙂

I bought Roma...a good shape for slicing for salads or sandwiches, and a good cooker as well.
I'm not doing tomatoes this year. With work and not being too well, my gardening is just what I feel I can manage this year. I am hoping to grow peas and mangetout peas in the greenhouse with a couple of courgettes.
You should have more than enough for food supply next year then. I don't really have time or energy to look after them properly, and the greenhouse needs a rest from them this year, so have mangetout peas, a few peas (the others didn't come up), a squash and a couple of courgettes in there this year.
