So whether you want to go Big Pink, or desire Yellow Perfection,Chocolate Stripes or Velvet Red; there’s a variety out there for you.

Start your day with Britain's Breakfast; Green Sausage and Egg Yolk, Steak Sandwich. Finish with a Bite Size, Orange Slice Wapsipinicon Peach Yellow Cocktail. If you look after your Green Zebra, Artisan Purple Bumble Bee and Red Robin, they will reward you with Hundreds and Thousands of Delicious, Bountiful TOMATOES.

It is usually the smaller cherry and plum tomatoes which taste the sweetest. One that has proven reliable, sweet and tasty is Ildi, which regularly produces over 70 yellow pear-shaped tomatoes on one truss. Sungold is very vigorous and popular with the children, picked straight from the bush. Another of our favourites is Pink Brandywine, a large beefsteak heirloom tomato with wonderful flavour, sliced and drizzled with olive oil and black pepper.
