New love!
Oh. My. Goodness. I am flat out in love, lust, luscious, divine, dripping, wholehearted sweet-tart slurping love. I encountered the Red Star tomato this morning at the farmer's market and it is like nothing I've ever tasted.
Well, it's like a tomato, but ten times better than the best heirloom height-of-summer beefsteak. This tender bit of joy is petite and ruffled with a thin skin and the perfect combination of sweetness and tart tomato tang. It's like a giant tomato compacted into a near-cherry-sized little gem. All of the flavor compressed into a tender nugget 1/10th of the size of a standard.
I am off to get garlic and basil for bruschetta, having tomato sandwich with these sinful treats for lunch. As with all new loves, I can think of nothing else. It's incredible, really.
Keeping this for posterity so I won't lose track of it by the time February and Seed Day 2007 rolls around.

It really is the simple things in life, isn't it?

Thank you for your prompt attention to this very important matter.
Hey. I discovered red star tomatoes last year flipped for them too. I ordered some seeds over the winter and planted 15 in my garden in April. About half of them survived and now I am inundated with these sweet little pumkin-shaped treats. They're everywhere. I suspect hundreds of them will soon be ripe. Life is sweet. Order yourself some seeds and you too can create your own Red Star Tomato empire! Rock on.
