We received 'Anna's Kentucky' from Craig LeHoullier who told us that he received the seeds, "... from a fruit given to me at Monticello last year [2016]." In an interesting event of meaningful coincidence, the seed that our friend Craig had received originated from a longtime supporter of ours, Ann Gaydos. In communication with Ann, she described the provenance of this variety as follows:

In communication with Ann, she described the provenance of this variety as follows:
"The tomato was originally given to my mother, Anna Gaydos by my uncle. His friend, who had lived in a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky had given the tomato plants to him. The tomatoes have been grown in our family vegetable garden here in Maryland for over forty years."
She went on to describe 'Anna's Kentucky' as having won several local tomato tastings, beating out more than seventy-five different varieties.

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.
