Ugggggggg was 97 at 6 pm last night without heat index. Something different and unusual and something good to eat too. Thankfully they have left their knowledge and experiences for us folks and those of the future. I just love those heirlooms with a history.Īlways sad when the good folks pass on. Other than the history, like you said I really didn't find any information about it, so I was hoping somebody here could tell me about it. It was from what I read over at Tania's site about it that got me interested in growing it. Notice that no one has commented on it at Tania's page, no pictures, and I guess I can and will say that there are perhaps several hundreds of other varieties I'd grow before I'd grow it again, based on taste and productivity, disease tolerances no, since where I am there are no serious problems with soil borne diseases, just foliage diseases and the latter is a problem for all varieties where I was and am now, Yes, I grew it, my seeds from Gary Millwood, look for his name in the link below, and just mentioning that Gary was a wonderful person and he passed away a few years ago. Recall that I have to grow in the winter here, lots of cool nights in the upper 50s in Dec. Varieties can vary vastly from one set of growing conditions to another, so you might get better results. Yes it did sprawl and zig zag, production of fruit was meciocre. I squished and squished, but for the first time this season I am actually having to spray a tomato plant for them. Is it because it is an older heirloom or is there something abotu the plant that attracts them flea beetles to it. You can hardly tell there was a leaf for all the tiny holes in them. I don't mean one or two, I mean loads and clusters of them on it. Of all the plants I have this one is constantly covered in them tiny black flea beetles. I had tried staking it for it to grow up straight, but it likes to zig zag its branches. Has anybody else grown it, or growing it now? I was wondering what it was like and if you liked it or not and what it tasted like.Īlso I was wondering, are the stems supposed to grow all over the place.
