Bacon, Lettuce and This

yotetrapper · July 12, 2021

I have a tomato I planted that was labeled as that. I don't know where I got it, it was probably an extra in a trade or something. But my husband likes it, and he's kind of picky. It's a large red beefsteak. I saved some seeds already, but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it? When I try to google it, all I get are BLT recipes, lol. I tried a search here but also didn't find anything. Mainly, I'm wondering if it's an heirloom or hybrid. Or even if it's a real variety, or if that's just a name a home gardener slapped on it. Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks! I was using Bing and couldn't find a thing. Switched to Google, and it pulled up some stuff. And now I know where I got it from too. Gary (Tormado) from a swap we were both in. Seems he is the one that developed / created (whatever the right word is) it. Maybe he'll chime in if he sees this post.

It is a variety by none other than Tormato and an excellent one at that. I love it! You probably received it through MMMM. PM Tormato for more info.

I grew it a couple of years ago, got it in a trade.I found the name pretty cool, and the taste very fine.I have traded the seeds to as many as possible but think I'm low in seeds at the moment, maybe ought to grow it next year.

I'll chime in, but it looks like you've already found your answers. I'll add that it is a PL plant.
