Andrew Rahart's Jumbo ... Pink?
I got huge, 1+ lb fruits finally ripening on my Andrew Rahart's plants - I picked one yesterday, which was not 100% ripe, but it started to spoil a bit, so I cut it and tasted - it was fabulous tasting, rich, meaty. Yum.
The only problem with it was... it had clear skin, which qualifies it as 'pink'. Obviously not a real Andrew Rahart's, which should have yellow skin. Agrrrr...After a crop failure in 2005, I managed to get this one to grow and ripen this year, and now this. Everything else looks exactly as advertised, except the skin color. Given the outstanding taste and texture and size, I would like to keep it and I saved seeds. Now I need to figure out how to label it - Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Pink? The attached picture does not give justice to the fruit color. The other fruits on the plant are less catfaced than this one. Tania, who is now looking for real Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red. Please contact me if you have a real deal and know the original seed source, I am willing to exchange to any of my tomatoes I actively maintain
