| Picture an increasingly typical southern Maryland near DC summer -- heat in the mid 90's, ditto on humidity, frequent red ozone alert days, and the nearly annual drought opening the door W-I-D-E open for stressed plants. You're miserable, and so are your tomatoes. Add in a 10 day surprise trip out of town that allowed disease to get a foothold before you could act, and...
Those were the conditions under which we first grew Kellogg's Breakfast.
That summer every other tomato in the garden except for Kellogg's Breakfast and Sungold gave up. Most had to be pulled out. Those two tomatoes were the only ones to keep going and give us any harvest at all. The KB's were meaty, flavorful, and the plants seemed to shrug off the maladies that took the others. While they did not yield as well as they would under better conditions, they impressed us greatly for their production under extreme adversity. They have a yummy sweet flavor balanced with just enough tang that they hold their own in a tomato sandwich, my husband's litmus test. They are also quite a beautiful color and while juicy, do can reasonably well. This year we are going to try them in our OH garden! |
