Margaret Curtain
I am looking for information on a tomato called Margaret Curtain. I purchased the seeds from www.koanga.org.nz they offer very little information, and they seem to be overloaded with work because they don't respond to my emails. This is what it says on their website:
"Another tomato from Henry’s collection. This is a large beefsteak, with the “black’ tomato colouring. It looks very like Black Krim but bigger if anything, with a green shoulder it is absolutely delicious, and I note that in the tomato research trials done by Mark Christensen, these coloured tomatoes come out very high in the nutritional stakes. Black Krim when grown from imported seed does very badly in the North. This one did very well here in the Eastern Bay but it did not like the intense heat we had this summer here." I have a bunch of vigorous young seedlings going, they are RL. Has anyone grown this before, or know anything about it? Thanks in advance, Lena |
