If I accept them and take them on they will be in a good home ........ and will get the full seed cleaning and even cloning ...to preserve certain interesting ones..... I am not commercial by any means ....just an interested hobbyist .

Kim's Civil War Oxheart Tomato at Victory seeds
I have Kim's Civil War Tomato from Victory seeds..
Introduced ..2015 ? but of course I cut back and didn't trial them in the last 2 years .. I will be most tempted to try them .....as the Hearts are becoming more of a priority to me . Does anybody have experience with this one .... seems interesting in context ....but not sure how a 7 gallon container would go possibly try a 10 then next time a 7 ...to be sure....etc.

You didn't send enough seeds to be offered outright so seed production had to be done and my last seed offer here at TV was in 2014, not 2013. I listed it for seed production and Neil chose that one and did the seed production for it, but got only enough seeds to SSE list it,which he did. You got mad since he said seeds from me without mentioning you as the original seed donor. I don't think it was deliberate, rather he just forgot trying to get his listings in on time.And I'm now recalling that you were so mad you even contacted Neil about it. I have no exclusive little club as you just said,let me tell you how it works which should clarify all for you. As new seeds come in, some already to go and some that need seed production a spreadsheet has been put up 1 or 2 of my very computer savvy seed producers , I'm not that savvy to do what they do,listing them and what I know about them. We rotate who goes first each time to be fair to all.They put a check mark next to the ones they would like and I send the seeds to each of them. As the season progresses they go to the 2nd page of the spreadsheet and describe what they got to ensure that they got the right variety that was initially described to me,then on the 3rd page those who can and want to show pictures There never has been and never will be any exclusive little club as you just accused me of ever since I started doing seed offers over 30 years ago and at different places before doing so at TV which I think was in early Jan 2006.

Black Bear, I can only apologize to you to see this thread go downhill, which saddens me greatly.
Remember please it was not I who started it it was Darin disagreeing with a variety that I had listed for you. I've tried and tried to clarify and try my best to do so, but others seem to want to continue it. And perhaps when I'm asked again to list some of my favorite varieties varieties, as I've done elsewhere for many years as well as here since about 2006 perhaps I'll think twice before doing so. I used to look forward to coming here to post where I thought I could help,to learn from others as well, but recently that isn't happening as much which really saddens me since I still think that TV is still the best darn message site on the net for what is covered here that I know of,and yes,I do know a lot of such message sites. Some I posted in and things got nasty and I left and so did others, two in CA kinda blew up,others folded for lack of interest and weren't attracting new members, and two I know of are just kind of puttering along . Carolyn

I am thinking ....Hearts , Large fruited , 7 -10 gallon containers.. Early and of course tolerant of cool coastal but does not give up the ghost with a spike of heat .... (Indeterminate , Semi, ?) I am extremely Happy with EM Champion and Velmozha this year .... They have tolerated the cold spring and record heat spike ...and set fruit early and growing ...

I've already written about the soil borne issues here. The heat of July kills spring planted tomato plants here no matter what you do. |

I am partial of course to my own breeding projects not ready for release yet but have some nice hearts that take up most of my space.
For others, Work release paste, strawberry wedge 1884, Ludmillas pink heart, mayo's delight, fish lake oxheart and For dwarfs, dwarf pink passion and dwarf Purple Heart are some I have had great success with. With commitment to watering and fertilizing you can grow anything in 10 gallons imo. KarenO |

yeah we have the opposite problem in PNW ....
we had nice record high temps . for end of May early June ..(Like Highest Summer) but now we have highs forecast sub 20C /68F for next week with lows of 6 or 7 C brrrrrr. and rain. ohhh I am not sure I could get used to that July heat cut off ... but I guess you adapt and have in fact 2 Tomato seasons spring ...then Fall .
