I used to buy tinned toms by the dozen, so my plan is to produce enough fruit to pulp down and freeze so I no longer have to buy tinned in. Also, I want enough to eat fresh, during the summer we eat lots, and to make ketchup, soups and chutneys. I can't say I have one fave - they are all so different. The white toms are very sweet and I love the sharpness of the yellow toms. Cherries are ideal salad fodder, and the beefsteaks great for cooking or having in a sandwich. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for looking at my blog. I have some photos of my baby tom plants which hopefully I will get on the blog in the next couple of days.<BR/><BR/>EmmaEmma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028922864896453796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20583584.post-10042631620382495622007-03-21T20:06:00.000+00:002007-03-21T20:06:00.000+00:00Why are you growing sooo many toms - are you doing...Why are you growing sooo many toms - are you doing a mini trial?

Where did you get the seeds, I'd like to get hold of some. (On the web, it mostly talk about their veg qualities, leaving me unsure if they were the right ones!)<BR/><BR/>If you could reply to johnabernethy@hotmail.co.uk that would be great!<BR/><BR/>Good luck<BR/>John A<BR/>fellow-allotmenter<BR/>LondonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
