Earlier this summer I made some notes about things happening in the garden I wanted to remember for next season. One of the things I had written down was, “Banana Leggs…don’t grow again, too scraggly.”
While it is, indeed, quite a scraggly-looking determinant variety, this type of tomato is so prolific that I have completely changed my mind about growing this one again. From the four plants I have in my garden, I have harvested literally hundreds of fruit, and more are on the way.
They are a paste tomato, perfect for making a sunny, yellow sauce. The downside to preserving these tomatoes is that their shape makes them a little bit difficult to skin and core.
This tomato is one of the most fun to give away, since most of my friends and family have never seen them before. I will have to grow them again, although I could probably get away with just two plants rather than four.

I was just thinking yesterday that I should ask you how you liked those tomatoes! I checked last night and I think I gave you all my seeds, but I’ll track some down and give them a try myself next year.
