Hi, Rivka. Last year I tried original Abe Lincoln and that looked like a smooth red, store-bought tomato. It was very disease resistant for me and we had a wet year last year, too. Good old-fashioned flavor. It is indeterminate. I had well-established seedlings that I planted so I didn't pay attention to just how long it was before they started fruiting.

36 degrees here is SW Wisconsin and snowing to beat the band.

Here it's mid-30's and can't make up its mind whether it's snowing, cloudy, or even popping out a bit of sun.

It's definitely windy, though.

Congratulations on the red pigs (look out for red heifers, though!) But while we're on red things: what are people growing for an utterly standard-looking round smooth large red tomato that nevertheless has at least some flavor? It needs to be fairly early. I'm still hunting for a good alternative to Big Beef.
