My second sowing of Opalka is not going much better than the first. A couple have popped up, but they don't look healthy. Instead of being a nice healthy green, they are yellow, not just pale green but yellow. I suspect they won't make it. That batch of seed almost had to somehow get contaminated.
I'm having the same problem with some seed I fermented myself, Blue Ridge Mtn. After tasting that one, I was eager to try it, but at the rate things are going I may not be able to this time around.
I may have to purchase some different Opalka seed next year and give it a try. I've started some Amish Gold seed, which I suspect is going to wind up being my paste tomato for this year. Bummer! I was looking forward to trying Opalka. I'd heard such good things about it. Amish Gold is good too though. I got to try that one at a tasting last year. Yummy!
