This story appears on this Blog, but back in 2008.
It helps to clarify how the name Greek Witness came about and how I came to get them in the first place. Just remember that what I got was a dry conglomerate of tomato pulp, as shown.
The Story on the Seeds - Charlie, my neighbour from two doors down got bailed up one day by the Jehovah Witnesses and being the chatterbox he is, got talking about growing tomatoes. One of the JW's said his wife was Greek and she grows tomatoes from her home country and he would give him some seed. These seeds are what he was given and then in turn he gave them to me, so it will be interesting to see what eventuates with them.
They don't have a name, but one has been suggested - 'Greek Witness'. Thanks Ray. lol.
****Well it's now 10 years later and these seeds did in fact grow huge red tomatoes and have been grown by several growers. I've grown them many times, but sold them at my Tomato Stalls at Markets. This year I have some seed sown to grow at least one plant in my own garden.
