Here is a dark pink tomato that originates from the bottom of the St. Lawrence River and more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Madame Francine Mailloux. She gave some to Mr. René Paquet, who presented them to Michel Richard from the Potager d'Antan, who gave them to me. And you'll soon have them in your garden!
