Italian red tomato. Original heart shape with a beautiful tip which, it seems, inspired its name. Very dense flesh, excellent for sauces and sandwiches. Its resistance to diseases and the abundance of its fruits compensate for its late production. I would recommend it for market gardeners, because it handles well (no pun intended) and keeps for a long time. One of our top three!

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

In 1995, a bag of 200 seeds was discovered in the attic of a house that had been abandoned for several years in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, by a carpenter making repairs. Neighbors said there hadn't been a vegetable garden at this address for over 60 years. Mr. Gérard Parent, to whom they were given, tried to grow them, but only three germinated. From these plants come all the Mémés de Beauce known in Quebec.

In the 1960s, Mr. Q Réginald Lefebvre owned a farm in St-Rémi, Quebec. One day, some Spaniards ask him for a few acres to grow their tomatoes. He accepts and discovers by rubbing shoulders with them the potential of one of their variety of tomatoes. He cultivates it in turn. In 1981, for lack of succession, the farm was sold, but the tomato went down in history!

This tomato variety was developed in the early 1950s by geneticist Professor Joseph-O Vandal. He worked at Laval University for more than 30 years and he is the father of several horticultural varieties that are resistant in our climate. The vigorous plant produces very early, medium-sized dark red fruits. This exceptionally tasty tomato has far fewer seeds than the conventional tomato and has a very thin skin that peels well. It should be eaten within a few days of harvest because it does not keep as long as store-bought tomatoes.

Here is a dark pink tomato that originates from the bottom of the St. Lawrence River and more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Madame Francine Mailloux. She gave some to Mr. René Paquet, who presented them to Michel Richard from the Potager d'Antan, who gave them to me. And you'll soon have them in your garden! Called a "hefty" plant by René Paquet, he adds that the indeterminate plant will have a "big yield" with fruits "with red skin and pink flesh". These will weigh, in general, between 400 and 850 grams but can go beyond for some specimens. To find out more, visit the Potager d'antan website.
