As always, very interested in feedback regarding how they do in your area. Super useful for me to see photos, hear impressions of flavour and general plant health under different growing conditions.
Stay well and I hope you have a great growing season!

I'm really looking forward to tasting all the KARMA spp., they're growing right outside my front door, and get treated like the "preciouses“ they are.

Early impressions
Pink seedlings distinguish
themselves with their vigor
1st truss 9+ flowers and counting, short intervals between nodes



2nd would be Apricot

Miracle and Peach are vigorous as well


The purple MF seems to be the runt.



I like the Tundra, compact for me thus far.



Overall impression PL line with lots of vigor.

Thanks, I’m glad you are growing them. The purple mf and also the new release KARMA miracle are definately more compact than pink,purple, peach and apricot.
Just as productive or perhaps more so in terms of total fruit.
Not a lot to compare them to really, I hope you will enjoy them and I really look forward to hearing how they all do

Interested in feedback from folks who grew KARMA miracle or apricot this first season of their release.

Here are some of my KARMA Miracle fruit from my garden

I just picked these and photographed. KARMA Apricot is a good producer with sturdy PL vines for me. It is not as tall as KARMA Pink. The flavor is balanced and we love that it is a 2 bite tomato. Looks great with other tomatoes in a mix because of its size and color. I have found in the intense heat, if I leave it on the vine longer it gets a red tint. Great work again Karen!

Super, thank you very much for your review! They do blush quite dark orange pink if left long enough. I find they hold quite well.

I think I also have KARMA miracle out there but every one of them is cracked. is this normal? or is this an anomaly. I am going to pull the plant and not save any seeds from this one for sure. cracked tomatoes are a waste of space in the garden.

Yes Miracle has thin skin like all the KARMA tomatoes. I recommend pick at blush and finish indoors if rain or humidity or wet-dry-wet watering style. Those are split from water or rain as opposed to A genetic propensity for cracking.
I think they are worth growing but don’t let them hang ripe because they will definitely split if get suddenly wet.
