Hartford, Connecticut, United States
Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Tried this one for the first time in 2011. The description is right on the money. Despite a very wet growing seasin in Connecticut with over thirtty-two inches of rain from May through September, Thessaloniki produced well. My yield was sixty tomatoes with an average weight of 6.2 ounces with very good flavor and virtually no cracking despite the heavy rain. I can\'t wait until next year and hope for a more favorable season to see how even better this variety will do.

It's hard to find fault with this one. The flavor and yield are great plus it has disease resistance. On top of all that, it's probably the most crack resistant variety I've grown.

Thessaloniki is my mainstay red tomato. This tomato has superb flavor, is very resistant to cracking, and produces a very high percentage of marketable fruits.
