Tomatoes - Thompson & Morgan Tomato Rosada seeds win Best Buy Award

April 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Sweet, juicy and delicious – its no wonder tomatoes are a favourite choice among home-growers, and Thompson & Morgan is proving that when it comes to tomatoes, we’re a one-stop shop!

In the April issue of Which? Gardening magazine, T&M has added to our growing list of Best Buy awards, thanks to the latest round of Which? tomato trials.

T&M are already the proud holders of Best Buy awards for our Chempak Tomato Fertiliser and our EXCLUSIVE blight resistant tomato Losetto, which is also our 2011 Vegetable of the Year.

Now, customers choosing which tomatoes to grow this year will have the added confidence of knowing that other varieties on sale through T&M have been given the Which? seal of approval.

The latest tomato trial focused on baby plum tomatoes and Rosada, part of the T&M range, was given top marks and the prestigious Best Buy accolade.

Judges gave it the maximum five stars and commented on the vigorous plants that cropped for at least 13 weeks, were easy to train as cordons and, of course, came top in taste tests.

We’re so pleased with these results, we’re celebrating by offering Tomato Rosada seeds for HALF PRICE on our website!

These latest results add to Thompson & Morgan’s standing as the place to shop for tomato seeds, plants and food.

Paul Hansord, Thompson & Morgan Young Plants managing director, welcomed the trial results: “Everything we do is about providing customers with the easiest and most reliable way to get the best products they can,” he said.

“The Which? Best Buy symbol is something that customers look for and know they can trust, so it is great for us to be able to offer such a comprehensive selected of products that carry the award. The Best Buy award is a great back-up to the comprehensive testing and trials we already do of our own products.”

Gardeners choosing to grow a selection of tomatoes this year can choose from a host of Best Buy awarded varieties on sale through T&M.
Cherry varieties such as Gardener’s Delight – a Best Buy since 1984, Cherrola and that old favourite standard variety Shirley are all available through Thompson & Morgan.

They join more than 40 varieties in the 2011 Thompson & Morgan seed catalogue, as well as many more that can be found at www.thompson-morgan.com
