tomatoes

I`m moving from two greenhouses and a poly tunnel to just one house. For years I have sold them -my campaign against Money Maker is local legend. Next year will be tricky,from over 30+ plus varieties I may have to go just two or three.

Ideas?

One of the blacks,sweet million and san marzano if
I must choose

I don't know much about different types of tomatoes, but I love them . There's just so much you can make with tomatoes. A salad wouldn't be without them!

Re: tomatoes

Dianne grows 'Alicante' and the cherry tomato 'Gardners delight' in the polytunnel. She also grows 'Ildi' but not so successfully.
My father had two large greenhouses and he swore by 'Eurocross', but I haven't seen these in years.
