Cinnamon Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Has anyone ever tried a variety called 'Sungella' ? It is a larger variety of 'Sungold', which I grow every year,with huge success. Saw it in the garden centre just now & thought I would ask on here if anyone had tried it & how it went? It just cost me £25 in pots of daffodils to brighten up the garden by the way - the garden centre is a VERY dangerous place to visit right now!

sjp Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've grown it for the last 2 out of the last 3 years I think it is slighly better than Sungold but I never really liked sungold I sowed it last year but I think I gave the plants away as I now grow mainly heritage toms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I love Sungold,so I will give them a go,thanks. Can you recommend any other types for me to try? I like the idea of heritage toms,but wouldn't know where to start with which one to pick and where to get seed. I am a pretty good tom-toe grower,and have a greenhouse.

Cinnamon Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for that - I really fancy trying something a bit more unusual this time. Funnily enough I did Black Cherry last year & was disappointed with the taste of the fruit,but each to their own,I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I did Black Cherry last year & was disappointed with the taste of the fruit,but each to their own,I guess it dose need to be really ripe before its picked and best pick late afternoon/early evening while still warm try a white or green ones they don't taste any differant but add a differant look to a salad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
