2006 Technical tests / 2 - Tomato Yellow

Another collection of tomato varieties Kokopelli had always inspired us and so we tried to cultivate our garden.

The French manual under Poire Jaune read:

Les fruits sont très peu acides, en forme de poire. A l'automne, on peut tout le pied et le arracher Pendra dans un endroit sec afin d'en faire les tomates Secher. The east vigoureuse variété et productiver. Croissance indéterminée.75 jours. Mentionnée variété très ancienne dans l'ouvrage de Vilmorin-Andrieux "Potagères Les Plantes" (1885). Elle est également bien avant mentionnée 1800.

A variety known for a long time, therefore, suitable for drying and storing winter.

The plants, grown with ease in spite of our lack of care, were a great success in our garden and that of friends where abiamo presents:

beautiful fruits and sweet: the next will be dedicated drying ... I'll let you know!

Perino Technical tests / 1 - Tomato and White Peach White

Waiting on the house in the country, thanks to the tremendous efforts of Charles, to materialize where before there were only ruins, we spent what little free space left by the cranes and pallets of various matariali to continue our testing of the seed catalog of Kokopelli.

And so yesterday for the first time we have seen in the forest of tomatoes, the busy schedule and the distance we have allowed only sporadic and inattentive care of the garden, the first samples of tomato "white fish":

"Fruits de la taille d'une pêche de couleur crème blanc légèrement avec un epidermis duveteux. "

This was what I read the catalog and, indeed, to hold the tomato, the effect is precisely that of a small fishing effect due to the skin velvety, almost "hairy".

We tried it in salad, sweet and tasty, and also combined with red tomatoes in a white sauce with mussels and zucchini. Excellent!
