Internettomatoes.net and Dr. Barad's varieties

GreenThumbGal_07 · February 6, 2006

I found a Web site called "Internet Tomato Trials." It was apparently about a HUGE contest, circa 1999, to grow out (and report back on) as many different varieties as possible.

The site is still up, frozen in time like a bug in amber.

I found a few intriguing varieties listed (603 varieties trialed):
Barad's - Pomodoro Ricci
Barad's "Small Chinese Grocery Store"
Barad's "Yellow Large Tomato"

On the "Passion Tomate" Web site, Dr. Barad's name also came up: he was supposed to have been the distributor for the Visitation Valley tomato variety.

Does anyone have further information on The Internet Tomato Trials and Dr. Barad?

Thanks in advance.
