1884: The past looking forward

Hello again to everybody on the forum.
Thought I would keep up the stream of tomato piccies to stimulate our tomato taste buds.
This is 1884. It was discovered in the same year as a chance seedling if my memory recalls. Fruit is as illustrated. Flavour is slightly sweet, distinctly complex with a lingering pleasant after taste.
Goes very well on freshly-baked white bread!
Enjoy.

| Looks good Craig. I'm jealous that you still have tomatoes rolling in. I'm planning next season and it's not even autumn yet! HOw sad is that? Don't answer that! |

Well, Ray, tomato harvesting reports from Sydney started coming in when my plants had just started to grow. NOW is the time when we can repay this kindness. :)
Anyway, don't forget to plan your autumn sowing. Nothing wrong with that. Craig, can't see the piccie. :( |

I can't see the past, present or future.
1884 is a blackhole.
Let me in. What's the password? |

| Craig, I can't see your pic either. It's really weird, because the other day I saw all your pics (Golden Monarch group) and so I just checked if I could still view them, but no. I'm getting a request for a password for them too. Is there a setting you can change to allow public viewing? PP |

Sorry about all that fellow forumites.
I told you this was a steep learning curve! Bright spark that I am, thought password protecting the web site would enable others to view it without making changes. Wrong!
Hopefully you will be able to see the piccies now.
Cheers

| Thanks Craig. It looks like a nice textured tomato, fleshy with small seed locules dotted about. I have a couple 1884 waiting to ripen on the bush (which is now rather defoliated - various diseases have set in here, but I'm hoping the fruit will ripen OK)and they look nice. Earlier fruits were rather small with severe radial cracking, but the later fruits are blemish free, thankfully. Can't wait to try one sliced onto toast! PP |

| Yum, Craig. I have one Kellog's Breakfast to slice today. It looks incredibly pretty. Just waiting for the bread to rise so that I can bake it for lunch. Sorry no pics, the camera has gone walkabout. It'll be back tomorrow. :) |

| I'll be interested to hear what you think of the KB, Spatz. I thought it a delicious tommy with an almost capsicum-y edge to the taste. |

| finbar, KB is delicious! It's a real winner. Definitely coming back next year. Might just have to put another bag or two on some of its flower buds for (more) seed saving. :) The texture is great, the colour is a very attractive rich, dark yellow, the taste is really nice. Must go and have another slice to be able to better describe it. Thanks, finbar, for getting me hooked on KB. (The seeds were from you.) Sorry, Craig, for straying off-topic. |

| If you couldn't be bothered bagging, I've got a heap more KB seeds. |
RE: 1884: The past looking forward

Well, I'm back. Too full to move. Fresh sourdough bread and slices of Kellog's Breakfast. Here's a more refined description: it's very very very nice. :)
It's stuff-your-face-with-KB nice. Thanks, finbar. I've got enough for next season. But not enough to share around at the moment. So I'll refer everybody to you for KB seeds if I don't get bagged fruit for seed saving. |
RE: 1884: The past looking forward

| yee hah, another variety, Ray and I are buying South Australia, and it'll be re-named Tommyville. |
RE: 1884: The past looking forward
| | |
| Graeme, please may I have a few KB seeds? Mine turned out to be wrong again, and the fruits I got weren't nice so I'd love to try yours next year. Maybe third time lucky?! PP, wishing she lived closer to Spatz for a taste of the real KB! |
RE: 1884: The past looking forward

My grubby little hands finally got hold of the camera. Half a Kellog's Breakfast. :)

| Yum! No probs, Auntie P, I'll put some in the mail. |
