Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An early, productive & tasty big red beefsteak tomato. A Ukrainian heirloom named after a Russian cosmonaut. The early ancestors of this tomato were actually grown in space. The best seedlings from that trail were named in honor of Cosmonaut Volkov. Producing 1-2 lb fruits (!) with a full flavor that balances the complex acid/sweetness well. Taste-test winner!
