Title: Tomato - Lost variety - help pse
Post by: mike6174 on January 07, 2005, 16:28:38
I have grown in my tunnel a variety called Polish Sausage for the last two years and love em to bits - my supplier doesn't have them any more and I never thought to save any seeds (another hard lesson learnt!).  I have put searches on Google but to no avail - can anyone advise please?
PS I live in leicester and belong to Oadby and Wigston Allotment Association.

There was a catalogue called Totally tomatoes which I think is now under the wing of "The Organic Gardening Catalogue".  May I recommend "Brandywine" as a variety to try ? Cheers, Tony.

thanks for all your comments - computer been dead and have only just got back on to topic.  The tomato is elongated, a red variety, like a plum tomato but is straighter (that is the bottom end does not bulge) lousy description I know but thanks again
