We're sort of homing in on a "house" sauce tomato which forms something like 50% of our #allotment polytunnel planting. We have simply given up on growing San Marzano varieties in the UK, maybe we've been unlucky with seed, but it's just always been a struggle over a couple of different seed sources.

Right now we've had good success with Amish Paste from Real Seeds, which despite a late start last year gave us a good ripened yield (and so much unripe fruit, a lot of potential there with a proper start.)

We also have Jersey Giant as a contender, it is and it is a beautiful multi-hue tomato but very hard to find seed for. We got the seed for this as a free bonus with a Fatali chilli seed order. Best bonus seed I've ever had. It is very low seed count, but we have a tiny number of the original seed which I must be careful to ensure some controlled pollination with this year, and I have some saved seed.

So the "maincrop" will be 50/50 Amish Paste & Jersey Giant this year.

Our other regular tomato varieties are (True?) Black Brandywine and Green Zebra, they always have a spot in the #allotment polytunnel. The only thing preventing Black Brandywine from being a preferred sauce tomato is it has a more limited yield. Green Zebra look and taste beaut and are fun.

We then always grow 3 colours of cherry tomato: Red, Yellow, and "Black".

We've been growing Black Cherry from Chiltern Seeds for years, because there must have been something like 50+ seeds in that seed packet which we're still using. (Same for the Green Zebra.)

Our yellow is Galina, which did wonderfully last year, and our red is Primabella, which was less impressive - both from Real Seeds.

We're also giving De Colgar another go, it has potential, tasted good, is unique ... but was very badly prone to blossom end rot last year (a general problem we had, probably due watering, need to be better at watering.)

And that's the lot, 10 varieties...
