Ever Heard Of?

A tomato called the "Auntie Esther" tomato?
How I loved my Auntie Esther and how I'd love to find this tomato !
There was nothing on Google and my post on some boring tomato forum went unnoticed.
Our forum here is the best one !

It seems like they spell it Ester and Esther but I think its the same tomato! Hope this helps!

But other the already mentioned no one has heard of Auntie Esther.

Sorry.

Every time I see that picture I can see Redd Foxx clutching his chest yelling "I'm coming to see you Elizabeth!!" or spewing insults as to how Aunt Esther looks so ugly.

I don't remember where I saw it. I wish I had made a note of it.
My lovely aunt had nothing in common with this one !
