Hays' (2010) sowed 2 seeds and 2 RL plants came up in 5 days. Pink hearts, some highly pleated, clear epidermis, medium to large sizes, flavor 8.0. Going on 4th month of production still. In this very bad year, this was a stand-out.

Moravsky Div (2008) sowed 2 seeds and 2 PL plants came up in 6 days. Small, red fruit with flavor at 7.5. Produced for 2 months.

Kardia Karpas -reported in other thread.

Fish Lake Oxheart (2010) sowed 2 seeds and 0 came up in 8 days. Later sowed the rest of the seeds and still no germination.

Linda, I had just one plant and mine were red hearts. Right now I'm pretty sure that it wasn' my saved seeds that I used but I'd have to check on it. Suze listed it as a pink heart in the YEarbook, her seeds from Julien in France. Tania got her seeds from the same person and got red hearts. So I don't quite know where we are with this one:

... and is selling seeds as red hearts.

I was very pleased with Hays' myself and was glad to get some seed from Jeff Casey who lists it at his website. After all, it is a bulgarian variety and I have yet to meet a Bulgarian Tomato variety that I didn't like, well, now that I think of it there were a couple of them.

And I sure do know about the germination problem with Fish Lake Oxheart and that was grown this past season again, but I don't know how that turned out yet.
