| Got organic seeds from Seeds of Change and had about 85% germination rate. Started indoors 3/26 for mid-May transplant.Plants were hardy and produced a lot of good tasting but smallish tomatoes. The small size made more work when turning into paste/sauce because you need more tomatoes to make a quart and that means more tomatoes to peel and core. Will try one of the bigger paste tomatoes next year. |

| Traditional small plum tomato variety. I much prefer it to Principe Borghese. Very productive, meaty fruit excellent for drying, cooking and sauce, not really for eating fresh. Fair disease resistence. |
