Doesn’t this rare Ganti Hungarian heritage tomato grown and held by Theresa Tanguay of Austin, Manitoba look scrumptious? There are other words to describe it too such as personal favourite, full-bodied flavour, delightful, outstanding, wonderful and even stylish.

Harvest begins about 75 to 80 days from transplant time into the garden.
