I would be happy to send a half dozen seeds to Marina, for a side-by-side comparison with the 'Snickers' 'Cuban' 'Icicle' or similar 'Black Pepper' like tomatoes if you want to do it.
I would like to hear from anyone who has grown it, whether the Baker Creek 'Black Pepper' was early or late, tolerant of/resistant to cold or heat or disease, productive, tasty. |
Marina was kind enough to send me Snickers in trade for Rutgers. I am trying for a side by side myself. I haven't gotten my Black Pepper in the mail from WillysWoodPile yet though. Starting to worry.  It's been a week. But I guess the holiday mail is slow.
Cuban and icicle I don't have and have no idea where to find.
