I harvested one ripe Paul Robeson tomato this afternoon, and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude used it and part of a farmer's market tomato (Carbon) to make tomato sandwiches, and it was good. This is a variety I discovered when we lived in Seattle, that I haven't seen in the farmers markets around here. The climate is fine, this is a Russian variety. (rareseeds.com tells me that the seeds were first introduced to the United States in the early 1990s.)
I have two more of these tomatoes ripening in a paper bag -- one that's sort of ripe but could use another day, and one green one that fell off the plant a few days ago -- and there are a couple more on the plant.
