Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / August 2006

I set up a new vege garden a few weeks ago. Figured we could starve
waiting till I finish building the proper terraced garden beds, so I
knocked up a temporary bed out of plywood and bits of timber and
filled it with a mix of mushroom compost, cow/sheep manure and
straw from the rabbits. I planted rhubarb, capsicum, cucumber,
silverbeet and coriander to start with, but I have plenty of bed left.

I have some tomato bushes coming on in the old beds, but I
am not very optimistic. I have never had much luck with tomatoes
before. I think they are grosse lisse. They probably aren't getting
enough sun where they are. My mother has some tomato bushes
that have been very successful but she can't remember the name.
The fruit looks like cherry toms, but they aren't cherry toms. They
form a cluster that ripens gradually, so that you get a few toms
each day instead of a sudden glut. Small plant. Seems to be
pretty pest resistent. Anyone know what variety these might be?
