A Seed Saver's Garden

[heirloomgal]

I cannot imagine that I ever would have tried Bloody Butcher tomatoes under any other circumstance than that I was gifted the seed. The person thought they were very special and, with a similar climate, I decided what the heck. They are indeed a very special heirloom tomato for full flavor and very quick maturing.

When I was a kid, when we took a steer to the packing house, I would hang around the screened open door of the processing room while arrangements were made for cutting up our beef. One day, the butchers stopped working with their steaks and roasts, grinding meat on their machines, and they began sharpening some long knives. They opened another door and about 10-12 sheep scrambled in on the concrete floor. In a matter of a few minutes, they were dead and laying all over the place! I never stood at that door and watched the workers again.

DW and I call the BB tomatoes –– Jolly Ranchers .
