I would like to try and grow some of the hanging basket type tomatoes this year as I am not great at the cordon varieties. I will get them from the nursery as young plants (not seeds) apologies if already mentioned, but which variety should I look for as a 'hanging' type? many thanks.
Maskotka has been recommended by several posters here. I'm trying them for the first time this year.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
I grew the one given free in gardeners world two years ago and had great success with Maskotka with both germination and taste. I am growing the ones given free in this years gardens world called Roma and I have 30 plants just pricked out into bigger pots. The last ones given free last year didn't do well at all I can't remember the variety.
My tomatoes are now ready to go out into the greenhouse. I’ve been hardening them off outside during the afternoons and now they have little flower buds forming. I go to a lot of trouble, expense etc. to have a few tomatoes in late May, ( I hope.) Valerie

I would not be hardening off mine yet, nor thinking about planting them in the unheated greenhouse. Don't know where you are though.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

Yes the seeds I got (very cheaply I might add) from Premier Seeds germinated within a week and are now potted-on and about 5 inches high.
