Interesting, Linda the supplier I got my Stupice seeds from has it listed as a red tomato. (and thanks for the pronounciation!) Wonder what I'll get?

I'll have to try a lot of tomatoes in the next year or two, to choose the best short season bearer for here. I just do need something that will keep setting fruit as the weather gets colder, since I'm planting them in September for a December/January harvest. Unlike you northerners that start them early, and have your weather getting warmer as they start to bear, these babies will have to ripen in shorter days and cooler nights. We also have to deal with late blight diseases that sometimes show up in November and that's where the heirlooms might fall by the wayside.
