番茄 '大麗絲'

Surprised how quickly these germinated — had seedlings popping up in under a week. The "large and smooth" name is spot on, the fruits are exactly that.

Planted these in a sunny spot and they took off quickly, the vines are now loaded with fruit. The taste is classic tomato flavour, exactly what I remember from home grown ones as a kid.

The seedlings popped up fast and strong, and the flavour is exactly what I remember from the old backyard gardens—smooth and reliable. It’s not the absolute tastiest tomato I’ve grown, but for a standard all-rounder that handles our local climate, this one’s hard to beat.
