Portuguese Monster. I sliced the first one earlier this week and decided it was too tart for tomato sandwiches for my taste, so I froze the rest. I tried another one this morning and it was ok, but not sweet. The one I had today did not seem as tart as the one I had a few days ago, so ask for other opinions before growing this one!

How about installing a patio umbrella in the middle of your patch for those rainy days?

I hope you have a better summer next year!

Thanks Linda for the encouragement. I hope it's better as well next year. By the way I had a Matt's Wild Cherry grow from a volunteer that I planted last year which was a big beautiful full of fruit plant. but this year it too succumbed to the "black plague".

I've been looking up PM and it seems the best thing is to go to market (not the Super) and hunt down some enormous tomatoes and use the seeds. Should have thought of that before. Thanks for the tip. Will give the CG a go as well unless I hear anything adverse.

Great idea! I didn't notice you were in Portugal. You'll have to report back on what you find!

Mine were a random pack I picked up in a store and I cannot find the package. They were supposed to be organic something though, which I did'nt care about just heard about the variety, saw it, and tried them. Maybe "seeds of change", could be name? Good stuff though, absolutely top notch. I will look more for the package and let you know.

Sorry, I don't have either of those, but I'd suggest reposting this request in another section of the forum.

1. Go to the main T'ville Gardening Forums Index page.

2. Click on Wanted Varieties.

3. Click on New Topic.

4. Give it a title and write your request in the box.

More folks will likely see it there and come to your aid.

Good luck!

Antichevarieta (?Roberta) - I could send you a few seeds each of the 4 'sisters' as I call them. Liz Birt (my avatar and one of my favourites), Bear Creek, Dora and I guess you already have Gary'O Sena. Send me a PM with your address if you'd like them.

**carolyn137** · April 7, 2014

The person requesting the seeds is Roberta in Italy who sent me seed from Italy and I sent them to you this AM and she had asked me if I hade them and I said no, and told her to post her request in the Wanted subforum of the seed exchange. But when I came to General Discussion I saw she had posted it here, told her about the Wanted subforum again, and that I'd delete her post here, which ended in 2013,

So then you posted what I told her and the Salix came to the rescue and I'll em Roberta right now and call her attention to the post by Salix,, although I have her address as well.

Problem solved.
