A few months ago Doreen Howard let me know I had the origins of Shimmeig
Stoo wrong. I'd thought it came from the Isle of Mann. She let me know that
you had named it the Manx, because your grandfather came from the Isle of
Mann. It's such a gorgeous tomato; the stuff of which cover shots are made.
I'd love to know more about its lineage.
