A world record-breaking 261 tomato cultivars were exhibited at @NBGGlasnevin #TTTomFest19! The human race eats ½ its weight in #tomatoes annually. An important crop economically - preserving their valuable #genetic #diversity & #seed #democracy is vital to #future #foodsecurity🍅 1.This thread is about cordon or upright #tomato cultivars. The stunning colour of 'Indigo Rose' gave me the inspiration for the 1st #TotallyTerrificTomatoFestival in 2012. The first naturally-bred, high-anthocyanin tomato, #seed only became available to #gardeners in early 2012>

#Gardeners are thinking about ordering #tomato varieties now - so I though it might be interesting and fun to do a tomato #thread. Some of you may know I started the #TotallyTerrificTomatoFestival in 2012 - more on the reasons later. Here's some of the 47 cultivars I grew for it> 2.This is my personal take on the best of some of the 100's of varieties I've grown over 40+ yrs of #tomato growing! If a tomato cultivar grows well here - I guarantee it will grow anywhere! Our climate is an average of 10C colder than the UK all summer and damp with poor light!>

Eventful morning as usual! On the way up to the #polytunnel to plant lettuce, I spotted Madam Houdini the escape artist had escaped yet again! Her tail was sticking out of the nest she's made in the long grass, and as she couldn't see us, she thought she was hidden! Hen-brained🤣 Later on at coffee time I surprised her by the compost heap, scratching around. The escape artist caught in the act - and I've never seen a hen look SO guilty! She was definitely thinking - "Damn - I've been spotted again!" Bit difficult trying to catch a hen with one dodgy leg!
