Default Clint Eastwoods Rowdy Red.

So far this season I havn't seen a single report or even mention of it on the forums,

Didn't anyone buy it or grow it-???, as I have been waiting all season long for a detailed report on it.

Either way the cost of entry is $4+. Must be a good 'mater. Or just good marketing.

Gary Ibsen claims Archie Millet, tomato breeder with UC Davis from the early 50s to '87, when he retired to his home garden to continue breeding intensely flavored tomatoes, "gave me these seeds by pressing them into my palm while we were in his garden (saying) 'here, Gary, these are for you. I've only shared these with friends and family. This is the best tasting tomato of my 50 years of growing tomatoes. Name it what you want … share it with others.'”

Oh, Gawd, Feldon ... I'm so verchlemnpt (wipin' tears from my eyes) ... talk among yourselves while I regroup my senses.

Now ... where's my credit card ... 4.25 + shippin' is a small price to pay for such heart jerkin' marketing. :wink:

After reading the description, I wonder, is there really such a thing as nematode resistance? Is there a tomato that has a genetically expressed nematode resistant trait?

I have no idea how to spell "vehr-kh(cx)lehmnpht" (or even if it's a real word) and am only tryin', as I do with other Yiddish words, to get enough phlegm phonetically expressed into'm so's to sound as if my grandmother were speakin' ... comprende vous?

Any tomato with "N" in the list of tolerances.

Celebrity VFNT: Verticillium, Fusarium race 1, Nematode, Tobacco Mosiac Virus.
