Silly me, I tried to look up this variety. Embarassed

Beetles, that was a nice explanation.

I just got my Baker Creek seed catalog -- I think there are rainbow creole cherowine paste tomatoes on the cover! Laughing

Wow! That was fast work, brian! lol!

Inquiring minds want to know if you are 84 now, as well?

If you wanna experiment, do so with hybrid offspring. Never know what you will get. Most of it is not good in my experience.

Heirlooms tend to be what they are. But not always! LOL!

I’m professional time traveler and beginning gardener!:-). I got pretty good in my 70’s though. Very Happy
