unknown kinked paste
About 15 years ago I participated twice in Catharine Vinson's Internet Tomato Trials.
Out of the couple of dozen numbered varieties I grew, one impressed me. It was a long narrow red with a distinct kink and a curved nipple. It was delicious. I was used to making sandwiches from many sliced cherries, and this tomato made a sandwich all on its own when sliced lengthwise. It made sandwich-eating so much less messy. I saved the seeds and sent them back as requested. Unfortunately, I sent them all back as I expected to be told the name of the tomato so I could buy it in future. I did not find out the name, and have been looking at pictures of long tomatoes ever since, trying to find out what it was. I have seen pictures of tomatoes with a tiny point, but none with a long kinked one. A couple of the photos of Opalka on Tatiana's site look somewhat similar. I bought some seeds of Opalka to try this year, but are there any other possibilities? |
