The Cosmonaut Volkov tomato is a Ukrainian heirloom that was renamed after a Russian cosmonaut who died while returning from the first visit to the Earth's first space station. Cosmonaut Volkov is one of the best tasting fresh tomatoes with its rich, deep, balanced, sweet and tangy flavor. Indeterminate plants set generously sized, 2–3 inch, slightly squat, deep orange/red fruit with green-tinged shoulders, and bright red interiors.  *Simone's Garden note: although the official description says the fruit is 2 to 3 inches, I've found the fruit gets larger each season. In 2024 most Volkovs from my garden were a good 4 inches across. Photos are from my garden in 2024. Companions: borage, carrot, nasturtium, asparagus, parsley, onion, sage, thyme 
 
Packet contains at least 30 seeds. The seeds were hand-cleaned by Simone, and may contain some chaff.
