Thessaloniki was the first heirloom tomato that I deliberately grew. I say deliberately because I grew heirlooms like Large Red Cherry without knowing that they were considered heirlooms. This is also aside from growing my grandmother's tomatoes :).

I bought a couple of nice tomatoes from a farmers' market vendor and saved the seed. The fruit was good and the nice plants made me a believer ;). Thessaloniki does well enough in my garden that I feel that I have it to fall back on if I ever lose interest in buying seed. I have added a few to that short list since.

That there is an oxheart variety, I wasn't aware of until just a couple of years ago.

Someone gave me seeds for a heirloom called Cour Di Bue, oxheart tomatoes from Italy. A few plants were placed in the ground yesterday so we will see how these make out in New York.
