Tomato- Saint Pierre

14 March 2021
Wonderful tomato you can eat like an apple - and very presentable as a gift bunch. Tended to over ripen and sunburn on vine - best to pick 2-3 days into reddening - will continue to ripen in pantry, A favourite with the local possums however ! Inexpensive L.E.D. camping lanterns placed at the base did the trick.
