Tomato Varieties 2021/22

 I'm listing the varieties of the Tomatoes I have growing this season, more so that I can keep a track on the seedlings once they are big enough.

So far, these are what's sown..

Macalister *Late sown

Cherry Brownies *Late sown

Japanese Pink Cherry* Late sown

Alaskan Fancy * Late sown

Giant Syrian * Late sown

Giant Belgium * Late sown

UK2000

Greek Witness

Nicoleta

Lavender Lake

Lithium Sunset

Village Red

Village Red is one I've been playing with for a number of years and I think if it throws a red tomato like last few years will be a winner.

Lithium Sunset is a mystery tomato and has two form in circulation, one yellow inside, the other is pink. It should be a yellow tomato with red stripes.

Lavender Lake is a Lavender/Purple fruit with good taste and sizable fruit.

Nicoleta, a tomato seed that came to Australia many years ago with a Romanian family who migrated here. The seed takes the name of their daughter, Nicoleta.

Greek Witness, a huge red paste type tomato from Greece. A tomato that also came to Australia with travelers/tourists and was given a name some years ago after its origin. A neighbour had the seed given to him to pass on to me by a lady Jehovah Witness. The name takes Witness from the religion and Greek from its country of origin. 

UK2000 is our named tomatoes. A nice medium to large oblate tomato, originating as self sown seedlings in a farmers vegetable garden in the 1980's.
