Getting myself organised and wanted to pre-order - any recommendations - used Fothergills last year and just thought I would ask if anyone had any other suggestions, many thanks

Local nursery? Likely to be cheaper and in better condition. Or grow from seed. It's practically impossible to kill a tomato seedling.

Local nursery or grow from seed very easy.

The best ones I've had in a long time I hit from the milkman! Goodness knows where he got them from but you could order compost and plants along with your milk and bread! It's a shame he's retired.

Tomatoes are embarrassingly easy to grow from the fruit itself. Get the variety you want to grow. Slice it. Put the slices in compost towards the top and cover with another inch. Put on a sunny windowsill and water. You can do it now and they’ll turn into fabulous tomato plants. I
bunch the seedlings together to make one plant.

I've grown from seed and enjoy trying but have lost some to frost/fungal wilt/heat waves! Look into when it's best to start then and start off with more seedlings than you want. Need to harden them off (gradually get them used to wind and colder conditions) and only plant out once no more frost expected.

That's good advice Hello.

Are there any varieties that are more resistant to blight? I never had it at the last house and seem to get it often here Sad
