Muddy Waters Tomato

McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician who is considered the “father of modern Chicago blues”. He was a major inspiration for the British blues explosion in the 1960s and is ranked No. 17 in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

One of the best segregated lines from “searching for the blue zebra,” Muddy Waters the tomato is not just beautiful, they have some of the best flavor for any anthocyanin tomato I have tasted, let alone a green when ripe! It is not hard for me to say that I prefer Muddy Waters over Green Zebra, which only surpasses Muddy Waters in terms of production. They are not very early, just an average midseason type, but there is strong disease resistance and even sunburn resistance when hardening off. Preferring fertile soils, Muddy Waters will not thrive in less than ideal soil fertility. Due to the anti-cancer benefits of the anthocyanin, and the delicious flavor, as well as long shelf life, this “blue” tomato has proven itself more than just a novelty, and will be commonly found in my garden.
