Title: Tomato Valentina.....any information?
Post by: Deb P on May 08, 2008, 17:15:19

I had some seeds of this variety from a seed swap, and have grown several plants. However, I can't find any information about it, I've looked on the web, nothing. Can anyone enlighten me please?

I couldn't either, had a very pleasant surf though looking at some fabulous sounding tomatoes and chillis online ;D ;D
Just a thought, aren't some of the better quality supermarket cherry vine toms this variety?
