Well this was interesting. The tomato is named after a broody hen because the plant habit mimics that of a chicken sitting on a clutch of eggs, the plants are quite dwarf and the fruits all hang under a dense canopy of leaves. For a smaller plant, the average fruit size was impressive, a regular sized red beefsteak, though the fruit size isn’t uniform and some are smaller. The fruits were on the firm side, and the taste was okay but not mindblowing. It wasn’t really that early, but more mid season. A decent tomato that I’d consider more of a novelty given the funny growth habit. 2024 seed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
