May be of interest
« on: December 04, 2006, 20:02:48 »
Early this year before we had ripe tomatoes we bought some called Dasher from the supermarket.  They tasted so good we saved and germinated some seed and grew 4 plants in the polytunnel.  They grew true to type and tasted just as good, they have just finished cropping now, (December)
They are a small plum shape in two's on a vine, very nice.

Yes, saved seed from this years for next year, but they did not have a lot of seeds in them, never mind , can always go to the supermarket again.  Think this type of tomato (Dasher) is only available to commercial growers.
