Out Saturday 5th November 2011

This is from Garden Organic's Adopt a Veg scheme: "Donor Cedric Baring-Gould, who received the seeds from his nephew Joseph Widdecombe, said that he had never seen this variety in seed catalogues. The seeds were brought to the UK from New Zealand by a sheep farmer who inherited the Mount Edgcumbe estate from the 6th Earl of Edgcumbe in the 60s, thus becoming the 7th Earl. The large, round fruit have golden skin, flesh and juice. A good all-purpose tomato with a great, sweet flavour. Also displays some disease resistance (mildew, wilt and blight)."
