This variety was sent to us by Craig LeHoullier who originally received it from the late Dr. Carolyn Male. Carolyn's seed came from Donna Nelson in Texas who found this variety growing in the garden of Clyde Burson, a neighbor of her relatives whom she was visiting in South Central Arkansas.

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.

One of our family's favorite tomatoes to grow. Excellent germination and very prolific. I have issues growing full size tomatoes but these are doing fabulous. Wonderful smoky, umami flavor.
