Default Greenhouse tomatoes

This year I searched the web looking for the best tomato variety to grow in the greenhouse. I decided on Trust, a hybrid developed in Europe. I thought the seeds were rather expensive at about $1.50 per seed, now however, I am thinking that they were worth every penny. It is just the beginning of summer and the plant in the photo has 21 tomatoes on it, and each one is perfectly formed. As it has reached the peak of my greenhouse I have removed and cloned the top to be planted in a different location. From what I read online it is supposed to taste great also, but I will have to wait awhile until I can confirm that statement..

That sure does look like a fabulous plant Jack! I'm interested to know about the flavour of the fruits when they ripen.

It also appears that the tomatoes are going to be fairly large.

After harvesting the first batch of these Trust greenhouse hybrids I can confirm that they taste as good as any tomato I have ever grown.
