I'm still impressed with Maskotka, I think this is the variety I'll be growing the most of next year and I'm dropping some of my other usual varieties.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-48521950090931385212015-08-23T16:50:25.668+01:002015-08-23T16:50:25.668+01:00That sandwich does sound good.

I hope that none of your other tomatoes are affected by it.<br />I did a second planting of tomatoes, and the plants are just starting to flower. One of my plum tomatoes has set a tiny fruit. I'm so hopeful that this batch goes well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04146196192793312353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-87327862691105770322015-08-23T14:04:22.723+01:002015-08-23T14:04:22.723+01:00Ou cherry tomatoes are ripening the first too.

When I was in Portugal I had an open faced sandwich (grilled) on chunky bread that consisted of ham, a big slice of tomato and cheese. It was delicious and one of the best ways I've eaten tomatoes.

I'm always surprised that you have so many tomatoes. I get the impression from other blogs that they aren't easy to grow outdoors in the UK.
