Arrr, Loxton Lass!
This is my first time growing her (last year was my first time growing Dwarf Tomato Project* varieties at all, and amongst those was Loxton Lad).
So Loxton Lass has probably been my 3rd best in terms of performance amongst the early determinate varieties I planted in the polytunnel, though I'm definitely a fan of what I just ate!
Smooth, creamy texture (unlike some that have a kind of grainy texture - not that it's bad, but creamy is best), and the flavour is tasty but mild and not tart or acidic.
Also, notice there's lots of flesh and minimal seeds, so it's a nice and sturdy fruit that is easy to cut (juice and seeds don't drop out everywhere) and it sits nicely on a sanga.
This particular "first fruit" was a lovely size and almost filled a slice of bread.
The other developing fruit look equally big, so yes. I'm scoring this one highly for next season (and a succession planting, which has already germinated)!
*Dwarf Tomato Project... fun fact. This project was started in 2005 by a lady from Bemboka (just up the road from here), and is now a global initiative with 100s of dwarf varieties available.
