Peg O' My Heart

When she was in her twenties, Peg Davis of Middlebrook, Virginia, received four tomato seeds from a girl in her 9th-grade horticulture class. The student's deceased grandparents had grown the variety in Pennsylvania all their lives, but the family was not interested in continuing the tradition. For nearly five decades, Peg has been growing and selecting seed from this pink variety on her farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, selling over 3000 lbs. of them every season at Staunton's farmers market. "Our customers eagerly wait for it every year, and by the last week of July, we have long lines of people waiting for the first ripe tomatoes," says Peg. Peg Davis (Donor & Seed Source) donated this pink tomato variety to SSE in 2022. This variety is scheduled for Lot Check in 2025. Description coming soon. SSE Accession # 133906
