WANTED: Heirloom tomato seeds for Chinese Opo Squash

Posted by yraelyea none (My Page) on

I'm not exactly a pro-gardener, but I remember my old friend grow a type of tomato that smells very nice and they're delicious when stir-fry with eggs.

Well, my old friend pass a few years ago and just recently I decided to do some gardening with tomato plants/seeds from grocery store, and so far I have tried 4 types and none has this kind of wonderful taste and smell to it.

I'm guess heirloom tomatoes represent tomatoes that are non-hybird and original old types?

Anyway, I have this Chinese Long Opo Squash seeds that has been in my family for many years, they grow to size of adult's arm (can get bigger if you let it) and it is a traditional seed that isn't blend, has wonderful taste and very soft when stir-fried with anything. They're even good when you cook them with stews or soup.

I'm not looking for any mini or huge tomatoes, I'm looking for the type that can grow to be pretty or ugly but it must have that taste.... I don't know how to describe it, and I'm a newbie gardener.

thanks, any help is much appreciated.

Hi GB,

I just read up additional info regarding tomatoes and pictures of them, do you happen to have heirloom Brandywine, German Johnson, or Cherokee Purple?

I would really like to trade for one of those types to try for my next year's gardent.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Yrael
