Heirloom tomato plant

Today I feature my best, exceptionally strong tomato plant. It is an heirloom variety known as brandywine. Note the fruits are still quite green and small — it will be some weeks before they're ready. Note the odd ridges in the fruit. If these ripen well the taste will be superb. Here is a page that tries to trace "what we know, and what we don’t" about the variety.
