If I could only have one tomato, Italian Heirloom would probably be it. First, it tastes wonderful fresh--great balance of sweet and tart, with full, complex flavor. Then, it's early, and bears heavily til frost, so you get a lot of tomatoes from each plant. Third, it is a great sauce tomato. The skins come off so easily that you can often peel them without even blanching. They melt into a creamy sauce with minimal cooking. And the flavor is terrific. An exception to the rule that multi-purpose varieties are usually mediocre--Italian Heirloom is excellent on all counts. Why doesn't everybody carry this tomato????Earlier and more prolific than Oxheart, which it replaces. 70 days. 25 seeds
