Who's 'yall' ?

Someone in the U.S.A., I imagine - after all, he's psoting in u.r.g,
so "the other side of the big pond" is likely to be the U.S.A.

Cherry tomatoes, particularly Gardeners' delight and Sungold.
BTW folks, note the "tother" which suggests a Yorkshireman!

Have seen many a gannet in my days but have not been elevated to their
hights yet....my tomato plants might soar into the air but my feet are still
firmly planted on the ground.H

I like 'Romano' a plum tomato.

Don't be silly - Rockall's Rockall use to live on - it's often under
water. He means St. Kilda, of course. (Or Hirta, for those in the know.)

Any tomato which has been growing in the recent past! - seriously, any kind
of greenhose tomato is better than the most expensive supermarket ones, they
have an aroma / taste, which shop bought ones do not have.

Personally I like Moneymaker and Shirley, especially when they are slighlty
underripe and melted with some strong cheese, cherry toms are OK for salads,
kebabs, packed lunches or just eating while you are watering...

I remember growing MoneyMaker back in the 30's....and dad before that....an
old timer indeed is Moneymake

I really can't let that pass unremarked: Moneymaker, if given loving
care and lots of proper feed is almost edible, otherwise it's about as
appetising as a wet dishcloth. In my estimation it's a weed.

Shirley though, is excellent. Alicante (in the Moneymaker family) is
also IMO of good flavour. I don't like the little tomatoes much as the
skins tend to be very tough.

Each to his own I suppose! - I like MM in cooked dishes, especially curries
and chillis....I've grown Shirley this year and they are a good all round
tom, cooking, salads sandwiches etc - I've never actually grown MM, but my
dad used to grow them on and off along with a few other varieties.

I like a tomato with a bit of tang, hence my recommendation for partially
ripened ones with melted cheddar!

Try Romano (plum) tomatoes for cooking - they knock seven varieties of
spots off Moneymaker.

Shirley has a tang (and flavour) when ripe, as does Ailsa Craig.

of tang.........H
