I received yet another order from Baker Creek and my free seed was Thorburn's Terra-Cotta. Was just wondering if anyone else has grown them and what they thought.
There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask 'What if I fall?' Oh but my darling, What if you fly?

I have grown it the last 2 years and it is coming back again, It was the earliest tomato to ripen last year and it is the earliest to germinate this year. It is an unusal color, hence it's name. I thought the flavor was very good, as was production. It was a healthy plant producing until frost. Elsewhere it was noted by a grower not to have a long shelf life, but I don't recall whether it was or wasn't a problem for me.

I grew it for the first time last summer and loved it! Quick to germinate, early and great production. Wonderful color. Highly recommend!
