Initially, I was avoiding commenting on this thread once the Amishland name came up, as I seem to get into disagrrements with others about Lisa's seeds. I grew Sabre last year, but due to the fact that it was a very bad year here I didn't get anything from them.
I've been growing Amazon Chocolate for 3-4 years now and it's one of my very favorites. My original seed was from Amishland and it was supposed to be P.L. For every 4 P.L. plants I'd get one R.L. The tomatoes themselves looked and tasted the same, all were quite large and they have done well in both dry and wet years. Last year, the only tomato to beat them tastewise was Dana's Dusky Rose out of all the varieties I grew. They are always in the top few tomatoes that I grow, and I wouldn't think of excluding them from my gardens. As a matter of fact, if I could only grow a few tomatoes, Amazon Chocolate would always be one of them. Most here know what the others would be too! I've never grown another variety like it as far as size and taste. If you can get a chance to try it, I recommend it highly! I've only purchased seed for it that first time and have been saving seed ever since, I still get a mix of leaf types, even when planting from just potato leaf, there's always one or two regular leaf poping up. They all taste good! Camo |
