Hello!

I signed up a while back but couldn't activate my account - it finally let me activate it today! Yay!

I live in the UK, and have only just started growing tomatoes! I'm in search of a tomato of a tomato that I want to grow over and over again. I do enjoy swapping and have lots to swap if anyone wants to do a tomato seed swap.

Anyways, I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning about new varieties and tips on growing :)

Curious...you's ever tried Inzhir Rozovyi. Lemonboy Plus F1, Big Bubba, or Cornue Des Andes.....?

I'm still in the wild west... This year's weather didn't help narrow that down. All I know is I prefer tomatoes with a sweet and sour balance!

Welcome to the forum.

When one is extremely lucky (and does plenty of research, first), the first heirloom one tries is the one that has never been beat. Even after 2,000+ varieties trialed.

My recommendations for you are Stump Of The World and SunGold F1 (try these when they turn from green to a full yellow, and before they turn to gold).
