Way back in 2013 I purchased a Yates Seeds 130 year Commerative Tin containing 10 packets of Seeds, Most were still unopened so this year after planting the other tomatoes we sowed a few seeds of a Tomato called on the packet "Large Red". These have been growing well and outgrew their posts while we were busy on other projects so that after one storm Doug spent a morning putting in new stakes and chopping the tomatoes back and retying them.
They are just starting to ripen. .Tonight I picked the first, by no way the largest. Here it is pictured next to a Black Cherry Tomato.
we have red cherry ones, and I think the large might be Beefsteak or Russian Red. They are fruiting so well. I found the ruffled red poppy seeds!!!
ReplyDeleteLarge red was the name on the Yates packet. Looks like a beefsteak type. The poppies only if you can spare some.
DeleteThey look so good. Except for fighting the dreaded black spot disease, growing tomatoes is so satisfying.
ReplyDeleteYes, if these survive the distance we will have a good crop.
DeleteCatching up with my blog reading. Sue, your tomatoes look fantastic. The weather's been really cold and windy here so I haven't ventured out and bought any seeds yet.
ReplyDeleteI just googled Oswestry weather and see it is not good. Keep warm.
DeleteBlack Cherry looks interesting
ReplyDeleteThe black cherry is delicious.
DeleteI can't wait for our Tomato season. Still a long way off.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have your tomatoes we will be eating soups and stews.
DeleteI miss having a garden, since we live in an apartment I've only got a few pot plants on the deck.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying getting back to gardening here.
