He and Susan Oliverson carried out the majority of the subsequent stabilization work, aided by Craig LeHoullier and Amanda Fischer.

I was a first time gardener in Middle TN. I planted these in raised beds in a medium mostly made of mushroom compost and pine fines. I didn't live at the place I planted them, and I visited infrequently. No pesticides. No herbicides. These were the most productive plant in the garden. The fruits were a little on the big side for cherry tomatoes, and they were shaped more ovular than in these pictures. They were tart, but delicious right off the plant. They were the easiest thing to grow and harvest and needed absolutely no attention. I will grow these forever.
