Oddly my experience with the Russian introductions has not been as happy in
southwest Idaho. Low yields, indifferent flavor have just about
discouraged me from trying any other Russian developments. It's extremely
odd in view of the fact that our climate is a steppe climate (one less inch
of rain and we qualify as desert). OTOH, heirloom tomatoes from the
American South have done well here except for the Hughs variety. Hmmm.
that tomato may have inspired the "Baby Huey" cartoon character. Big and
numb. Margaret
