I apologize in advance for the audio quality of this episode. I‌ was dealing with a dodgy microphone and some parts of my audio has static, but this is only here and there during the interview and its otherwise acceptable. I have it fixed, it won't continue into future episodes. 

In this episode I give an overview of the domesticated tomato, my feelings on the term "Heirloom", I have a talk with Patrina Nuske Small and Craig LeHoullier about Dwarf Tomatoes, and I review Craigs book Epic Tomatoes.

  • Wherokowhai pronounced fer-dow-co-fi
  • Uluru Ochre
  • Kangaroo Paw Red
  • Sweet Scarlet Dwarf
  • Dwarf Golden Gypsy
