A couple years ago a family friend gave my Dad some seeds she had saved for what she described as an heirloom sauce tomato, originally developed in Italy. This is our second year growing the variety, and can't say enough good things about it. The fruit is oblong, pointy on one end, and can get over six inches long. They're 90% solid flesh with tiny little vein of seeds running down one side, making it great for sauces and salsa. The flavor is realy nice too.
We're just curious what the real name is, and about history behind the variety, since our family friend got her seeds from someone else who got their's from someone else, and so on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

YOu already have several answers in your other identical thread in the Tomato Forum and I've answered you there as well.

In general the same folks who post in the tomato forum post here as well.

While i was rebuilding my house from Isabel, i was only able to grow five tomatoes plants beside my house last year. Now i have tomatoes growing everywhere.

Can someone tell me why?
