Yep, this is still a novelty here, despite the fact that the local farmers markets do offer black and striped tomatoes (bland tasting for some reason, not sure why - they do not reveal which variety they sell, which is sad).

Interesting that it's the heart-shaped tomatoes that the locals have never seen before.

When I was selling the leftover plants, people were asking me for 'roma' tomatoes, and I did not have them, so I was offering them the hearts instead. I hope they will be liked (if they get to maturity this year).
