Gardeners Delight - The Tomato






This year I am growing 3 varieties of tomatoes, Gardeners Delight (cherry), Roma (plum) and Tomatillo (miniature), that's apart from a few unknown varieties growing around my compost bin. I decided to try growing in Grow Pots this year to avoid the perennial problem of blossom end rot, which is difficult to avoid when growing directly in grow bags.

I have been harvesting them for a couple of weeks now and made some tomato sauce for the freezer. As I harvest the plum tomatoes I put them straight into the freezer until I have a large enough batch to cook down into sauce, plum tomatoes are better for cooking as they have less water in them. The cherries and tomatillos go straight onto my plate (if they get as far as the kitchen).
