It is Indigo Rose - I went to a talk in Bath last October and learned more about the breeding programme in Oregon - there's more to come from this line which promises to be tastier. I found this is a tomato that worked better in a sauce, just like Paolo from Franchi seeds says when he's looking at the tomato varieties they offer.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-80152157357698357302015-04-14T16:14:14.368+01:002015-04-14T16:14:14.368+01:00I'm thoroughly enjoying James Wong's book ...I'm thoroughly enjoying James Wong's book - I prefer scientific theory to urban myth! Is that an Indigo Rose tomato looking so tempting there on your plate? I wasn't impressed with the ones I grew last year so am giving up on them in favour of more reliable cultivars.

I wonder if that's from our tribal memory re the nightshade family being poisonous. If I get a glut to make pasta sauce later this year, I'll give it a try and report back!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-54990550691900835472015-04-13T09:57:06.178+01:002015-04-13T09:57:06.178+01:00Nice to know how ancient they are.
