Chello and Canary Rose Varieties

Sorellina · February 21, 2006

Ciao all,

I got these tomato varieties as freebies from the Toronto Botanical Society's "Get the Jump on Spring" open house. There was a table from Seeds of Diversity and they gave me these seeds.

I saw a picture of Chello on Reinhard Kraft's site and I like the look of the small yellow fruits. The packet merely states that it's a determinate and no mention if it's open-pollinated or an heirloom. I thought it might be a good candidate for Munchkin's garden. He's 6 1/2 and he likes to grow tomatoes that aren't taller than he is so he can harvest them all himself.

The Canary Rose packet, however, had no information on it, other than it's supposedly a kind of paste variety.

If any of you have grown them or know more about these two, I'd love to hear from you, especially growth habit and flavour characteristics (and I know the latter is subjective information). Carolyn?
