Stupice – A Czech beauty
Stupice - A Czech Beauty
The first two tomatoes harvested in Tomato Town are an heirloom variety called Stupice (stu-pi-zza). The variety originated in Czechoslovakia, which is appropriate given all the time that Farmer J spent there. These little guys were picked on July 2, and enjoyed on the 3rd. They are meant to be used in soups, salsas and stews. Full description from www.seedsavers.org: One of the four Czechoslovakian tomato varieties sent to the U.S. by Milan Sodomka. Potato-leaf 4′ plants loaded with 2½” by 2″ diameter fruits borne in clusters. Extremely early, great flavor. Heavy yields all season. Produces well in northern climates. Indeterminate, 55-70 days from transplant.
