Will these be the tomato varieties to beat our short season?
I've finally broken out of my comfort zone. After 10 years plus of growing tomatoes in the greenhouse, I'm finally making the leap and I'm going to be growing them outside in my raised bed, here in Scotland. With our cool climate and short growing season, most people grow tomatoes in their greenhouse to ensure an adequate season, but by choosing varieties that are earlier to mature, I might just be able to double or even triple my tomato crop.
I've got some help from my friend and youtube gardening superstar Gardener Scott and together we are going to experiment to see if we can both grow the same varieties of tomato and use the same methods of growing. And of course, we're bringing you along for the tomato-growing adventure.
So sit back, grab a cuppa and enjoy gardening.

Thank you so much for introducing me to Gardener Scott! We live in Colorado (at least for one more year before we move to Montana) and wish I would have found him a few years ago. :). I also just found your channel about a month ago and almost immediately bumped it to one of my favorites. I have always had a love of Scotland (as part of my family ancestry) and find it to be very similar to the Rocky Mountain Climate. Who knows, maybe I'll get to move there someday. :) This was probably one of my favorite episodes and as a newer gardener, appreciate the education and resources. Thanks again.

I have a 12x24 greenhouse and I am focusing on raised garden containers (not raised beds). I love them because I can propagate and plant them in the same containers and when completely filled, I am able to move them by myself. I am a 66 year young female who wants to make sure what ever happens to the old bones, I can grow, grow and grow. Love your show, just stumbled on to your site this week….

Great video and recommendations. I grew San Marziano tomatoes from seed because I couldn't find the plants locally and all 24 seeds germinated!!. Amish paste was from small mail order plants. I gave away half of the San Marziano plants but still had a bumper crop that was shared ( without permission) with my local woodchuck. Tore netting and tipped over buckets on deck after climbing stairs. Red squirrel invited friends to partake of yellow cherry SunGold tomatoes in fenced garden. My favorite too. One morning I counted 24 cherry tomato skins on my deck. Apparently he (she?) and friends would prefer tomatoes without skins and partied on my deck too. I plan to try a few of your tomato seeds. Wish me luck.

Loving the collaberation and good humour. You blended the video really well. Great job! I'll be growing the sungold and sweet million with you. Along with a handful of other varieties. I grow them exclusively outdoors because I don't have a greenhouse. Here in Sussex though, I can probably start sowing in mid march and get them in the ground in last week of April/first week of May. I will probably put off sowing my short season toms until end of march but I've already started my marmandes, as they barely made it last year when I sowed them too late. Very exciting to be getting ready for the season. Can't wait to see everyone's gardens progress through the year. 💕

Average last frost is 18th May although realistically I can’t plant out until June and average first frost is Oct 21st, although it gets cold a few weeks before then. I can start tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse in mid to late March through April (depending on the variety as obviously they all have different growing seasons) but aubergine I need to start indoors in Jan and protect them until June. Not sure if you’ve managed to catch them all, but this video with Scot is part of a series I’m doing focussing on these things. kzread.info/head/PLjhUBZdMh-4nPzdffSSKzEX1vAvEJpn8g

I also have a short season. I'm about the same lat as you, hotter summer, but my greenhouse gets midday shade from an oak tree. Last frost date officially early may but anecdotally mid may. It's also June usually before the night time temps are tomato friendly. I've overwintered a couple of tomatoes in my living room and even with minimal watering, some are flowering! I also have 2 actual tomatoes. I also took cuttings of my last 2 surviving outdoor tomatoes that went in a bit late to quite ripen on the vine outdoors. I'm planning on doing lots of cuttings and doing outdoor tomatoes too. Just swithering over whether to start more seeds... Maybe I'll try some of the varieties you are trying for a short season!

@@eliandkate at least I have time to order them. I like the idea of super early ones
I found you through Gardener Scott. Have you planted anything in the gift he sent you? I'm looking forward to seeing you two comparing each other's growing sites. Hope you grow massive, ripe tomatoes.
