What a treat!

Back on February 1 of this year I bought a sleeve containing 4 Kumato tomatoes. As I'm sure most know, February tomatoes are usually hard as a rock and pretty much tasteless, or what taste they have generally resembles cardboard and not anything we would call a tomato.
You can imagine my surprise when I found these to be very sweet and tasty and extremely juicy!
Those first 4 kumato's where soon history and since then I've bought about 4 more sleeves. Best part...they were lower in price and more to a sleeve. They may not be heirlooms from my garden, but for this time of the year they sure are welcome at my table!
You can Google "Kumato" for the background history on these delightful treasures.
For those that are interested, my best tomato of the year, last year, was Purple Dog Creek. While Kumato may not equal PDC, it sure is nice having in February.
Enjoy!
