Let me introduce you to the winner of our 2024 outdoor dwarf tomato trials! Uralski Ranniy is a Russian heirloom tomato which performs extremely well for us in South West England. It produces mini-beefsteak tomatoes, the size of a salad tomato but beautifully ridged. They are excellent eaten fresh but come into their own when they're cooked down into sauces or fried for breakfast. Happy growing outside, and will yield well in a sunny spot.
Sow: March, with heat (25C)
Harvest: July-September
Kitchen: Pairs with savoury (anchovies, capers, cured pork), aromatic (basil, coriander, thyme), spicy (anise, clove, cinnamon), fats (avocado, cream cheese).

Gardener's Sweetheart is an overachiever. It produces trusses as long as your forearm, laden with cute red tomatoes, shaped like anatomical hearts. Unusually for most heirloom varieties, Gardener's Sweetheart has a high resistance to splitting so you can leave whole trusses of tomatoes to ripen before picking them. The tomatoes have a lovely firm texture (they make great sauces too) and sweet flavour.
As with many tomatoes, the flavour of this variety is deadened with over-watering. Once plants are established, water the absolute bare minimum (if growing in open ground) and you will be rewarded with the sweetest fruits.
