A fellow gardener from Pitchfork Farms in Charlemont told me about some heirloom Italian tomato seedlings she had. A man had given them to her, and they had been saved in his family for generations. So of course, I had to have some Sicilian tomatoes! Here is Red Pear Periformo. I also got Bolseno, Amish Brandywine and Chocolate Cherry. Thanks Pitchfork Farms!
These sounds very intersting. I will be anxious to try them. Are the a member of the Roma family?
ReplyDeleteMost of these tomatoes are eating tomatoes (7-8 oz fruit) instead of paste tomatoes. But they are said to store well if you pick them with green shoulders.
