Hype about Kumato

[svalli]

There's a lot of hype in a Finnish gardening forum about Kumato. I was offered seeds for trade against Chimayo pepper seeds, but after reading many posts here I'm not sure if it is really so good as everyone in Finland is saying. Many people up here do not grow heirlooms and the seed varieties available at stores are limited, so it may be the best many growers have had.

It would be nice to comapare it to other blacks, but my growing space and time is now limited, so I would rather grow something which I know to be early and tasty.

Is the Kumato worth growing? The original seeds were saved from a grocery store tomato, so they could be F2 or F3, when I get them.

I may ask the trader for Hundereds and Thousands seeds, which by a seller website is a heirloom and should grow true from saved seeds.
