orange tomatoes
orange tomatoesThis year I have grown, amongst others, three varieties of orange/yellow tomatoes and I must say that I think that they have a far superior flavour to the red ones. They are just superior in my mind; the flavour just explodes in your mouth, they look nicer and compared to two red varieties they are juicier.

Re: orange tomatoesI grew T & M 'Balconi' yellow toms for the second year running but this year I put them in the flower bed - I cannot believe how many toms I have on such a small plant. It is a tub/basket type and is completely weighed down with fruit. They have such a strange, almost bunched up growing habit that they look like they have wilt or something when young (but are fine).
I also bought a yellow plant from the garden center when I thought mine weren't going to be any good, but it is orange! Actually I am rather pleased as I too have 3 colours this year! I have a pepper plant but the fruits are almost white - are they going to be yellow ones when ripe? They were multi coloured seeds, including brown peppers. Helen xx

I also grow one called "green grape" which ripens to a lovely sunny green.
My bottom garden's like Narnia without the mothballs. I go to pick beans for 5 minutes and when I come out hours have passed!

Re: orange tomatoesI stumbled upon an organic "market garden" on my travels at the weekend. I chatted tot he owner for ages, and he gave me a little orange tomato straight off the vine to try. I'm not really a tomato lover but I ate it because I didnt want to be rude. Oh my!! It was absolutely delicious! In fact, I had another I dont know what variety it was but he did say they were all Italian varieties in that poly tunnel.
I'm going back in a couple of weeks to get some corn on the cobs, I'll check it out then if I remember Waiting to welcome Sunny Clucker to Northern Ireland!

why is it these days that common sense and common decency aren't that common????? Re: orange tomatoesMy vote goes to 'Orange santa'. Beautiful taste - so much better than red ones in my view. Also like the yellow, 'golden sunrise' - this year they're taking a while to ripen but the orange santas are ready!
White peppers? I recon they might be the brown ones? Wouldn't put money on it though. Roob 5 hens: Keira, Dot, Beryl, Kylie and Magda.
