Moskvich' translates to "inhabitant of Moscow", paying homage to the area where it was bred in the early 1970s (more information inside packet). After a winter without homegrown tomatoes, it will be the first one you will harvest, as it withstands cool weather. At the end of the hot summer when temperatures cool off, it is the last to slow down in production of full-size, garden-fresh fruit.

    I have been growing this tomato for 3 years running now and it will have a place in my garden every year even though the seeds can sometime be hard to find. Don't worry too much about their size. They are not a huge plant and are slower growing than many other varieties BUT what stress they cause you early in the season they will repay many times over in amazing flavor over a long season! They aren't huge fruits but I'd rather not have a half a huge tomato left over after making a sandwich and this is my sandwich tomato! Blts like nothing else! Couldn't do without them
