| "Fourth of July Tomato" a hybrid purchased from the nursery in Cheshire in early June, this particular variety of tomato is ready to harvest much quicker than most tomato varieties (roughly 55-68 days). because it's a hybrid, seeds cannot be saved, but it does taste delicious, and is the first tomato in the garden ready to enjoy! 8 August 2011 |
