We've tried the Asturian wild cherry tomato this year but it's done nothing. Might try a cherry if we can find a blight resistant one.

This year I don't even have any of them, as the seedlings I bought that were supposed to be cherries were actually normal toms! #failMaryhttp://asturiandiary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-41595556179148096142013-08-26T00:07:22.818+02:002013-08-26T00:07:22.818+02:00When we were in Galicia we found that cherry tomat...When we were in Galicia we found that cherry tomato's did well both in the tunnel and outside, we could not grow the larger types at all, they always succumbed to blight. Onions outside we found were a waste of time but those planted in Nov in the tunnel were great and stored well. We still grow both the cherry tomatoes and onion's in the tunnel and have a great crop from them both.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20649132.post-19156441210247402312013-08-25T22:58:57.005+02:002013-08-25T22:58:57.005+02:00Mind you, broad beans may have been better had the...Mind you, broad beans may have been better had the pigs not got into the veg patch and scoffed the early ones!

In contrast though, the onions and broad beans are awful this year.
