| I grew Indigo Blue Beauty Tomatoes from Jung seed this year in Green Bay WI. It is delicious slicing tomato variety which I liked eating fresh more than all my other varieties. The fruit is rose-red color. The fruit hit directly by sun is indigo on that side of the fruit surface. The tomato flesh itself is completely red showing no indigo under the skin. The indigo skin tasted no different than red skin. The entire tomato is mild and tasty, much like an heirloom. I had a low to average yield this year. The earliest tomatoes were quite large; those still left on the vine now in September are half that size. Blue Beauty was later to get started bearing than most of my other varieties. I will be interested to hear others experience with this new tomato as well as the other new Indigo varieties. |

| Maj, as you noted it is new fo rthis year and when one Googles it, as I did, all I saw were seed vendors that were selling it. It was bred by Brad Gates at Wild Boar Farms in CA/ I read and often post at several message sites and haven' seen one post about this variety, to date. As for other so called blue ones, yes I have seen others who have reported back on some of those, especially Indigo Rose and Ithink there's a thread here already about that one. I think it was discussed in the current thread whose title was something like Purple Tomato Juice, discussing the GMO one from England As for me. I'm not alone in not liking the so called blue ones b'c of the taste, and that started several years ago when I was sent fruits for Dr.Myers P20 which was the foundation development which led, at least in the US to most of the ones one sees at Jung's and Tomato Growers Supply,etc. Carolyn |
