Mr Fothergill's 16403 Vegetable Seeds, Tomato Costoluto fiorentino

Very happy. Seeds germinated very well and are now growing on very sturdy plants. Looking forward see how they fruit.

I had bad luck with my tomatoes last year (totally different brand and seller) - I planted about 10 seeds and only 1 germinated and even then it was a poor little plant that seemed to struggle a bit from day one. This year I tried these seeds and decided to plant 15 on the assumption that I was just a rubbish gardener and so had to plant more to get even a semi-decent chance of success. Out of the 15 seeds I planted in the greenhouse, 13 came up within two weeks and they are still doing well: they're still very young but seem robust and are clearly healthy. My only problem now is what to do with 13 tomato plants! I guess family and friends are going to get some for their gardens for free this year...

I scattered these seeds in a number of garden boxes and now have over twenty germinated and growing nicely. I will replant in the garden when more fully established but very pleased with this outcome.

Wanted to try a new variety of Tomato this year so picked these seeds up. Germination rates were decent and as I live in a cooler part of the country I start my seedings off inside early in the year so i can get some good growth on them and transplant out once its warmer.Minor labelling mixup on my end meant the pot suitable variety of cherry tomatoes ended up planted in the raised bed and this ended up planted in a large pot and it was too late to really disturb them once they put on enough growth to realise the mistake. That said this variety did grow and produce some tomatoes in the pot but it did not prosper. It feels like this variety is very thirsty and the combination of the pot and the hot weather and hosepipe ban really limited its growth. I did however get 8-10 small very tasty tomatoes off it so I will be trying to grow it again next year and just making sure the labels dont get mixed up when potting on so i can get this plant into one of my big raised beds where moisture loss wont be such an issue.

There’s nothing like having your own tomatoes at home. I started with a patch of basil and herbs last year, got more adventurous this user with a few veggies.Definitely something to keep going back to the garden for.

I've given these seeds 5 stars, but to be honest, I only planted them two weeks ago. However, every one I planted has come through, and has been repotted and is doing very well on my kitchen window ledge. The plants are still tiny but look very robust. I'm looking forward to the produce much later in the year - I will update this review then.

Very nice and big plants if you keep them well watered! Put them in pot inside the house, when they have about 15 cm you can move them in the garden/ greenhouse.

All seeds have germinated have to wait til grown before any further review. Cheap seeds and prompt delivery
