Sir Craig,

I do belief it's Velvet Red not Red Velvet. Carolyn kindly sent me some but they missed the season cut

According to a post from Hoosier on GW...

SSE 2006 public catalog lists Velvet Red and says:

"Unique, silvery-gray, dusty miller type foliage. Heavy yields of 1-inch cherry tomatoes,excellent sweet flavor. Fruits are also slightly fuzzy but not as furry as the peach tomatoes. First listed by SSE member Carolyn Male in 1997, identical to Angora Super Sweet. Indeterminate. 75 - 80 days from transplant."

It's on my grow list. Grub :wink:
