2019 2019 proved to be the summer in memory for Edmonton, wet and cold, which was exactly the reason why this didn't do well for me in 2011! Here's looking forward to another year for re-growing that will give this tomato the conditions it needs. 2011 Didn't seem to like the cold, wet weather of a La Nina year, but it did take off and start producing a lot more once weather really started to warm up. Really nice flavour on this one, good balance between rich/acidic taste. It's totally normal for this variety to have darker red/brownish/greenish shouldering. I think this variety will do better in a more normal year.
