| I've grown these for a couple years now and I get fonder and fonder of them. They are stupendously productive, starting early and being amongst the last to succumb to frost in the fall. The tomatoes are very attractive, long pepper-like yellow fruits streaked with green to gold speckles. They are a fairly dense tomato, better for cooking than eating fresh although they are perfectly pleasant raw. We made great yellow tomato sauce with them, mixed with other yellow tomatoes to add complexity to the flavour. I definitely intend to grow a plant or two of these each year. |
