{"product_id":"tomato-galina","title":"Tomato, 'Galina'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Lycopersicon esculentum) \u003c\/em\u003eWe cleaned up a contaminated strain to bring back this cultivar we first tasted while living in VT. Potato leaf variety with very early, bright yellow cherry tomatoes approx 1” diameter. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of a yellow pear tomato grown in the heat of the Midwest. Fragrant with a nice burst of subtle sweetness and thinner skin. Resists cracking at all costs! Let ripen to golden yellow for the richest taste. Very productive resisting light frosts. Crystine loves them and here’s what you should know: \u003cem\u003eLeave them\u003c\/em\u003e. Enjoy your other tomatoes in the heat of summer. Pick some occasionally to add a little yellow to your tomato salad. Dry, wet, it doesn’t matter. They won’t split. EVER. When the weather gets cool and rainy and the rest of your tomatoes have gone south, these magically get freakishly good. And not just “good” in comparison to the others’ badness. Like, \u003cem\u003ereally\u003c\/em\u003e good...sweet and flavorful and all that. It's inexplicable. They’ll last for a month or two once picked too. We picked a tote full one fall and never got around to squeezing them for seed. Left ‘em out in the backyard \u003cem\u003efor 5 weeks in the rains of Sept-Oct \u003c\/em\u003eand once we gathered the courage to peek, we found most were still edible. This is one weird tomato and well worth trying. Consider it your last taste of summer. Crystine gets the last laugh. Again. P.S. Crystine thinks they’re tops Any Old Time! But by all means, wait if you’d like. Indeterminate.\u003cbr\u003e65-75 days.
