Highlighting a Few On The List #1

Some of what's getting grown for the 2020/21 season are shown here, mainly just the few that make a comeback in the garden from time to time. First to get a mention is Wandocka, for it's third year in a row and although it seems stable, is one tasty tomato for a pink.

We seldom miss growing UK2000 as one of our regulars each year and although there are lots of varieties that pass through the garden here, this one never lets you down, with flavour and yield.

One that Jacques introduced me to was Negrillo di Almoguera, as the Spanish name says, Negrillo which means Black, and this one doesn't disappoint either. Black tomatoes come and go, but for a tomato to get grown here more than once, it has to be good.

The odd one out here for me is Valenciano Clemente, a 'Rare' Spanish red heart tomato, which isn't a tomato I particularly like, but then I'm not the only one living here. The red pulpy paste flesh appeals more to being cooked than any other way of eating them.
