Italian Sweet from TGS. Dunno why, I just liked their description. Just a sucker for a big sweet tomato

McS,
We're now getting a good hour out of Summer without complaint, providing she's sitting on her trike and parked next to something edible. Lol. You are right, she likes the action.

Manto,
I can understand your thinking: two words, Italian and sweet, are rather suggestive and evocative.

this should be a pic of my tomato as requested , not sure if it will work though
these tomato's nearly all weighed 400-500grams each no acid a good meaty tomato ,excellent in flavour , and not all seeds like some,good keeping
also we found it terrific for sauce making ,pasta sauces ,semi dried

A 1lb pink on a determinate bush, seeds via a Maltese worker, sounds like something worth trying... my two are looking good. Will be interested to see how the taste stacks up.

grub should go well , it did for us ,hope you like it too

Grub · October 14, 2007

I am liking the sound and look of it... thanks Rainy.

Mantis · October 14, 2007

I am loving the look of the plant so far Grub. Rainys is a robust bush type that I have not seen before. One of my F2's is showing the same habit of throwing out leaders from every leaf join at a very young stage. Really looking forward to its progress.

Mantis,

I suppose it's like Sophies Choice? RL Determinate bush about 1-2ft tall and 3ft wide?

Mantis · October 14, 2007

Just went and measured mine in the greenhouse. Its 800mm by 500 (2ft8inches by 1ft8inches) and has only just set its first fruit. Lots of flowers on the first truss.

Grub · October 14, 2007

Sounds like a bewdy... are all your plants starting to grow well now?

Mine in the patch are putting on an inch a day.

Mantis · October 14, 2007

Plants in the self watering tubs are kicking ###. the other side of the greenhouse where they are in bottomless pots are much slower but getting there. Outside plants have just started to show some growth. warmer weather coming so hoping for better growth

Grub · October 14, 2007

Sounds pretty good... I think you will still be the Aussie with the first harvest... keep us posted.

I didn't realise but I have some really interesting ones grwoing this year... can't wait.

Mantis · October 14, 2007

Hope I get some before blight kills them

Grub · October 15, 2007

What, Early Blight? Why is it so bad in your dry environment?
