My Second Year Attempt |
| I may have mixed up my labeling last year but I was pleasantly surprised to grow out a beautiful plant that had half dollar size tomatoes that were the best tasting ever and yet did not appear black at all. I am wondering if the plant has not stabilized yet.
This year I am starting new plants from the same seed package and also growing out six plants from seeds I saved from last years tomatoes. One of those six is potato leafed and the other five are regular. I will see what happens this year. I am very excited about this trial because these were really the best tasting tomatoes I have ever grown. I will make a follow up post at the end of the season and let you know what I learned. |

Funny Name Great Taste |
| When this variety was introduced I got such a kick out of what was written in the catalog about it I thot they deserved to sell some seed just for the sake of their sense of humor so I bought a packet. Then I gave a few plants to a friend to try. Not only did I decide I liked this one well enough to give it a permanent place in my garden, my friend told me she went out to her garden and turned around to catch her little dog carefully picking and eating only this variety. She said its her favorite also. Definitely a great find! |
