Which tomatoes shall I grow for best flavour?

I've grown Ailsa Craig, Money Maker, and sun gold (a yellow cherry type) Out of those the Money Maker had best flavour, but still aren't quite there as far as I'm concerned. They cropped heavily as I stripped off all the leaves and allowed plenty of fresh air to get to them, and gave them a home-made comfrey fertilizer can anybody recommend a good tasty tom to grow?

  1. I rate highly "moneymaker" Nice size and fantastic flavour.
  2. I recommend Carrot Tomatoes :D
  3. The heirloom tomatoes have the best flavor as far as I'm concerned, but they sometimes have issues with blight. My personal favorites are BeefMaster (a large dense meaty tomto, which you have to keep well-watered or it'll split), and Better Boy (smaller, but has a nice taste). I'm in Florida, and too much sun is an issue, but I found a variety one year that the fruit grew under the leaves, and the leaves were large. It was perfect for Florida. Regretfully, I can't remember the name of it.
  4. as far as flavor goes you can't beat the old heirloom varieties I myself love any of the bottle tomato's roma's etc. the flavor of an heirloom can't be beat yellow or red
  5. The "Big Boy" variety always did well for me in Texas.
  6. l always like big girl and roma tomatoes. http://gardening-tips-idea.com/GrowingRomaTomatoes.html
  7. I have always grown Gardeners Delight,A small cherry tomato and full of flavour ,but last year I grew Sun GoldF1 another cherry type and the flavour was out of this world . 10 seeds for nearly £3 but worth every penny . Feed on Tomorite fertiliser. Hope this helps.
  8. i like gardeners delight
  9. My favourite is Tigella. Widely available from most of the big seed companies. Best grown in soil for maximum flavour.
