Crimson Crush are very good - large tasty fruit and bred to be blight resistant; they are better as an outdoor tomato rather than under glass, I think.
One year I experimentally grew Gardeners' Delight both under glass and outdoors. The outdoors ones were very tasty, but those inside were rather bland and tough skinned. I only did it the once, so not a very scientific experiment, I'm afraid!
Sungold are available from most garden centres and online seedsmen, if not now certainly in the new year.
i also grew three plants of Green Zebra for the first time this year. A robust and trouble free plant for outside ... one even survived me falling and landing on it! 😆 A heavy crop of stripey green fruit with the shoulders getting a golden tinge as they ripen ... a good sized sweet tasting tomato which tastes even better when fried, grilled or baked. Much more than just a novelty. 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Have a laugh folks I thought a tomato was a tomato never in my puff did I realise there are so many different kinds Will try and sort out which looks good and come back with my choices and ask what you think and any advice you can give
@ian.mckay- if you fancy trying Sungold and Sweet Millions- I'll send you a few seeds nearer the time. I grew both of those this year for the first time. I found Sungold very good, and very tasty, but it was very cold here in May, even under cover, so I think the S.Millions were a bit slow. Just PM me if you want a few seeds
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thanks to all on site for your help first site I have been on and got 100% positive response Brilliant
Sweet millions or sungold are good for small toms, but I grew black cherry and they are good for taste/ numbers. Roma for cooking toms, but they do take up a bit of room in the greenhouse Eating medium sized toms I am still searching for a variety I like and will be experimenting with a new variety next year.
