lyubimyĭ prazdnik favorite holiday

[jennifer28]

Photos of a big Russian commercial variety heart known as lyubimyĭ prazdnik
which roughly translates to "favorite holiday" in English.

It is open pollinated.

I ate my first ripe one today. I liked it, it was more sweet and had a wonderful zip at the end. Quite juicy, too.

Here are photos of some green ones and then the ripe red one I ate today.

It is quite cold tolerant. I put it in around April 12th or so and it survived temps around 30 degrees, I believe. I need to look up exactly what the lows were back then. But I know there were some light frosts.
