Janet’s Jacinthe Jewel turned out to be a real wonder. The bushes were firm and very beautiful. They produced a lot of giant fruits but not very early. We began harvesting when it was due time for a mid-season variety. However, there were lots of green tomatoes on our bush in the middle of September. They were smooth and large. Ripe fruits were really amazing, especially in a cut.
