Sent to us by Craig LeHoullier who wrote, "Very large oblate smooth pink, excellent flavor. Reminds me of 'Dester' a bit; lovely variety." He received the seeds from Roman Figun of California. Mr. Figun told us that his grandfather, Peter Dutka, brought the seeds back to the United States in the 1960s after visiting family in Poland. For the next thirty years his grandmother, Anna Dutka, raised the tomatoes in the large garden of the family farm in Indiana, often sharing seeds and plants with local friends and neighbors. Roman's grandfather passed away in 1977, and his grandmother, Anna Dutka, in 1998.
Roman has been stewarding his family's heirloom since 1999 and it was introduced to the gardening public by the Victory Seed Company for the 2021 gardening season.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
