NotesIndeterminate; Pink; mid-season (78 days)
The tall, indeterminate, potato-leaf plant produces an abundant crop of 4-inch, deep-pink, lightly-fluted, beefsteak fruits that have the kind of robust, smack-you-on-the-palate tomato flavors and firm, juicy flesh that invites tomato feasting and seed-saving. Its flavors, similar to the enviable qualities of its namesake Julia, are bold, strait-forward, complex and contain more than enough acidity and earthy nuances to balance its luscious fruitiness. A suitable variety to include as a part of your own legacy of seed sharing - the loving gift of healthy food for generations to come.

image Roots were turning brown (I cleaned a bit before the pic). Testing adding hydrogen peroxide to prevent root rot. Supposed to use 10ml/gal of 3% peroxide, but not going to take the time for one plant. Going to eyeball and do .5 ml for about a half a pint of water. Also note that the ph of the solution in the jar before was 6.1. I started with 5.6
