[Sagan]
We should name a tomato after him. (Maybe there already
is one.)

What an incredible intellect to be so cut short in life.

I would have given anything to have had a 30 minute conversation with him. I am sure I am not the only one.

So, naturally, I went to see if there was a tomato called
"Sagan" or Carl Sagan. While not immediately finding
any, there was this interesting link:

Peanut Butter and Tomato on Toast:

(It looks like Purple Haze might be a little small for this, but if
that is what you have, ....)

Well, back to the "real deal". Daily harvest is winding down. The plant foliage is headed South...but still a few left ripening:



Given the poor growing conditions, I am surprised how well the taste is holding up.

What I am getting from PH that I got from Ray are much like what Randy mentioned earlier in the thread. Kind of like small Cherokee Purples, bigger than a golf ball and setting like crazy. This from a RL plant that is very vigorous, the best looking plant overall in my garden this year. I counted 70 plus fruit on it this afternoon
