2012 Tatiana's tomatoes

[Tania]

Another one that was affected by cold weather in April, so it took time to ripen. But I loved this tomato, it is firm, not too juicy, perfect for cutting in half for a salad.

Cute dwarf plants with rugose foliage.

Not a tomato, but I finally manage to snap a decent photo of these. Very nice cucumber, we love it.

I cut it too soon - I should have given it more time on the counter. I liked the taste, but the fruit was too firm. It is very meaty, and would be awesome in cooking.

Another excellent tomato from the Dwarf Project.

This is the one I have been stabilizing since 2009 from Purple Haze F1, and this year all the plants produce the same fruits that I was selecting for. Just like the Purple Haze, it has beautiful purple/black fruits about 1.5 oz average. Very good taste.

I also have an RL version of this tomato.

For some reason I thought this tomato should be pink, but it looks like I was mistaken. It is certainly red, and a very nice one! Compact plants are loaded with fruit, ranging from 2 oz to 8 oz. Very nice balance flavor.

Irregularly shaped red hearts, many are doubles. Very nice!

Looks like the original commercial seeds I had (from 2002) are not pure, as I also got a plant that produced a smallish oblate pink fruit.

[Tania]

First fruit was not perfect, but it was very tasty anyway. I loved the firm flesh.

[Tania]

I finally got correct seeds for this variety - hooray!!!!

Very nice large black, it was worth the hunt and re-trials.

This is a pink sister of Lana, I have been selecting for a large pink beefsteak, and it looks like I am getting close. Very good flavor and texture, a beautiful tomato.

Just a few days later than Lana.

The original cross was made by Rob Gee in 2007, Brandywine X Carbon.

This is a no-name pink oxheart grown by my husband's grandmother in the 70-80s. I named it Kermit. I think it can be a strain of Russian 'Bychye Serdtse' tomato. Very high yields, meaty flesh with little juice, very nice tomato.

I may have posted a picture earlier (it ripened on August 22), but I cannot seem to locate it now

This is an ugly looking one - I think it realized too late that it should be a heart, so it started to grow this little heart at the bottom

indeed!
I think he looked at his younger brothers and sisters hanging on the vines and scratched his head thinking, "I should have been a heart too! Let me try harder..."

This one is surely not as early or as prolific compared to most of the other cherry tomatoes. But the taste is great. It is a small version of Aunt Ruby's German Green which I adore.

The last picture is ARGGC with Pelican cherry.
