This is the first year for ages that I haven't grown tomatoes and peppers in a greenhouse (we moved house in the summer) Usually they have done really well and I have tried many herritage varieties or plum ones or "Alicante".

This year as they are going to be outsitde Im going for "Sungold" It is a cordon variety and can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.

I'll be growing Sweet Olive Plum tomatoes again, they were super last year. I think my yellow ones were Sungold, so I'll be doing those again too. Both will be in the greenhouse.

Peppers - my redskin were very small and slow last season. Gypsy were more proflific / bigger and tasty red grill were fabulouse - but I had to wait until October or November for them to ripen !!

i think it was crap last year for peppers hope its better this year we do like our peppers :)

I had great success growing chilli peppers last year but not sweet peppers they barely flowered and certainly produced little fruit.

Tomatoes I grew money maker and sungold last year outside and had a couple other different types but they unfortunately got tomato blight.

Also gonna try the millifleur tomatoes have a look:

I love growing tomatoes, but the last couple of years Ive had holidays in May and no one to tend them, so I just dont know whether to start them or not.

sounds like you need automated irrigation could do with something my self but since i grow strait in the ground you can miss the odd day watering if you have too

my seedling look really crap this year tomatoes are my thing Ive used a thermostatically controlled propagator so i can only assume its inferior seed

GS, they need lots of light and its been particularly crappy and dark recently so thats probably why they are suffering.
