Every once in a while a new tomato shows up in your plants and the excitement grows as you plant it and watch what it grows into. One such tomato is currently evolving in my hothouse, after changing from a regular leaf to a potato leaf. These new varieties are usually given a 'working name', but it has to be a name not already in use, either in full or part there of. I've been thinking of what to call it, then on the way home from Traralgon today, it appeared on the side of the road in front of me. There on the road was the sign for the District of Wandocka, which is now called Denison, a neighbouring dairy farm area close to where I live. The seeds were labeled 'Giant' when I went and picked them up, so I'll include it in the name.
You guessed it, my new tomato will be called "Wandocka".
