Just found an absolutely delightful new tomato.

michael johnson · March 18, 2006

I have only just come accross a new tomato- British bred, with an absolutly delightfull taste and texture- salad size, soft smooth texture, the taste is semi-sweet but has a fresh green aftertaste to it, the sort of flavour you get when you first pull out the green stalk and sniff it on realy good tomatoes you get that fresh green smell thats very tomatoey.

Its probably the best tomato I have tried for along time, blood red colour, tall indeterminate, with 8-10 toms per truss,

The name of this variety is ( Triumphant ) and I shall certainly be growing it this year as I am very impressed with it as a whole.,

I shall no doubt have reams of seeds to spare around the end of september time if anyone want to give it a try, please contact me then, I shall probably be putting in a longish seeds trade list around that time too and it will be included in that- I hope.

Hi Michael,
SOunds like an interesting tomato and will be contacting you in the fall for some seed. I assume that it is OP.

thanks Mischka, for getting me out of a fix -once again

, much appreciated, the trouble was I was reading the sowing and growing section whilst thinking about posting in the general discussions section, and somehow my mind got out of sink- before I clicked on the wrong button.

Valeree- a friend of mine I visit now and again who lives a long way from me about 100 miles or so, grows most of his tomatoes in heated greenhouses with added lighting, he starts off his seeds at the end of september each year and has tomatoes over christmas and well into the new year , although he is not a commercial grower- just rich enough to be able to afford the lighting and heating costs- unlike me !,
