Commie tomatoes
In article , says...
Has anyone tried any of the tomato varieties from Russian and NE
Europe? There's a couple of 50 day tomatoes in one of my catalogs that
look intriguing, but I wonder how they taste? "Siberia" and "Stupice".
Has anyone ever tried them?
Regards,
Bob, in Minnesota
Stupice are excellent, an early type, I was picking tomatos from that
plant last year in late April and was still getting tomatos in October.
I'm growing it again. I'm in So. Cal. Sunset Zone 23 I have limited
room so I only grow a few different tomatos each tear, Stupice
impressed me enough to grow it on a permanent basis.
Black Krim, good producer, fair flavor, tendency to split easily.
Not growing it this year.
Caspian Pink, excellent producer, big beefsteak type tomatos, fair to
good flavor, may grow again this year.
