Greenhouse Crops - Beefsteak Tomatoes
Last year I grew Consteluto Fiorentina beefsteak tomatoes and had terrible trouble with them they became diseased and the fruits didn't grow to the size they should have. So I switched to Marmande for this year and the difference is amazing. You don't get so many tomatoes to a truss as with normal tomatoes - but what they lack in quantity - they make up for in size.

I had the same trouble as you last year with the CF, Elaine and am growing 'Giant Delicious' this year. Picked one yesterday and it weighed 224g.
