Color: Pinkish Red
Shape: Beefsteak, slightly ruffled Size: 10-18 ounces, or 1-2 pounds, or over 3 pounds DTM: 80-90 or 112-184 Notes: Indeterminate, regular leaf heirloom variety from Kentucky. Some references suggest it may be a renamed version of Barnes Mountain Pink, but given the wide range in sizes and days to maturity, I'm wondering if perhaps the two different varieties are often mislabeled as one another due to the similar name. Said to be prolific and grow about five feet tall. Color: Pink
Shape: Ribbed Size: 2-4 inches DTM: 75 Notes: Indeterminate heirloom, low acid, from West Africa. Also known as African Togo Trifle. I found very little information when looking up this variety. Clearly it's either very unique, or nearly extinct. I'd like to grow it out and see how it produces. Color: Pink
Shape: Beefsteak Size: 1-2, or 2-5 pounds DTM: 85-90 Notes: Heirloom variety from Ohio, averages four feet tall with a three foot spread. Low acid. Tomato size reports vary from 1-2 pounds up to 2-5 pounds, though two pounds seems to be about average. Some varieties are said to have green or brown shoulders while others are just pink. Use for canning, sliced on a sandwich, or diced in a salad. I'm setting up this blog to keep track of the seed stash that is quickly overtaking the box. By using the Categories, I will be able to sort the seeds by color, variety, etc to make it easier to find information when I need it.

Seed Stash BlogIn an attempt to keep my seed stash organized, and yet easily accessible, I'm going to use this blog. The plan is to make a blog post for each seed variety as I research it, tagging it to pertinent information. That way, I can come back later and search through the seed stash (even if I'm not at home), or sort results by growing factors! Categories
