Karen you never cease to amaze me! I’m cutting back and this year I planned on growing Taiga and then didn’t sadly. But it’s a go for next year.
I love watching you create so many gorgeous tomato varieties. Looking forward to seeing what you are offering for next year. In the meantime I’m still waiting for this year’s grow outs to start ripening. Sharon |

Thanks Sharon, I hope you’ll try it next year. You will find it earns its space in the garden
Here are some of the first ripening anthos. Looking for quality fruit with quality interior structure and flavour on healthy vigorous plants. There is an album called “ the blue album” on northerngardenercanada Facebook page if interested in more photos. KarenO |

Plants are looking healthy. Some fruit starting to ripen. There is an album on Northern Gardener and also lots of photos on my Instagram if interested. Here are a few. That orange bicolour is an exciting f2 find.
There is a video of slicing it posted on ig. I’ll post still photo below KarenO |

What a great work you are doing, Karen! This year, I fell in love with Midnight Sun which has arrived on my "perpetual" list. If only one of your anthos is as excellent as M.S., it would be great! A work of art AND overwhelming taste - is there anything more?

Karen, your tomatoes are exquisite. You have the best pictures of cut tomatoes I have ever seen. Off to check out your FB page.
BTW - do you have/use irrigation on this growout? |

Best of the F2 heart selections. Rather pleased with the appearance and flavour of this one. Very large and vigorous potato leaf plant
