Note
The first time I grew this tomato, in 2015, I ran out of prepared ground. So I planted it in big bags half-filled with a few shovelfuls of compost and ‘forgot’ about it at the end of a field. Towards the beginning of September, during a walk, I ventured a little further than usual into the tall grass and pounded on some tomatoes… I harvested several baskets of big, perfect tomatoes. So it’s safe to say she’s passed the toughness test! It’s also very productive and makes good juice.
