My Bella are behaving very differently. One, the poorly looking one, has produced loads, the very healthy one has just begun to flower and the last one I'm not sure it even knows it is a cucumber plant.

when I see this sort of produce from you both it makes me want some space to be able to grow some

First time I have grown these but will certainly grow again, very large heart shaped Italian tomato's 'Cuor Di Bue' full of flesh and hardly any water or seeds

They look really good. You did not say how they taste which is very important.

They certainly look very inviting...lovely shape....but as Cherry rightly says we need to know if the taste is lovely too ;D

I've tasted better, the sweetest toms seem to be cherry size but I had them on a pasta salad and they went down well
I would say taste is similar to medium size toms like Moneymaker, Shirley etc good but not extra sweet

They look really good Steve - I bet they would make a lovely tomato sauce

That sounds reasonable. I like to grow a pretty one among the cherry tomatoes and I grow Shirley. Your Italian one is even better.
