Carolyn you asked about the taste of this paste tomato. The original "Casino" and "Polish Linguisa" are both my favorite paste tomatoes and they both tie for first place. The original "Casino" has so much flavor that a friend of mine picks them green with just a hint of color and makes green mexican salsa. He has already ask me to save him a few plants of the green mexican salsa tomatoes. That name stuck in his head and I cannot change his mind but it is the Casino tomato.

Carolyn I agree, Standard paste tomatoes are dry and are best cooked but these cherry tomatoes "Casino Chips" that I am offering are just a little more juicy than the dry paste types and have real tomato flavor. Not the to die for flavor like the sun sugar or chocolate cherries but just a nice rich tomato flavor with a nice firm texture. These cherries are Good eaten fresh but pop them on the BBQ, warm them up nice and toasty, look out, get ready for a taste treat.

So Casino, if the cherry derivative of the variety Casino is just as good tasting as the original Casino, why don't you do a freebie for Casino?

let's put it this way, at my age I'm not going to wait around for the cherry to throw a somatic mutation so I can have Casino.

So I'm thinking to meself and I'm thinking what could I offer as a freebie other than ones I offer in my seed offer and yesterday AM I was going through some old seed that someone wanted me to do b'c it looks like some varieties out there and I'd probably have what those varieties should be.

Now as I was searching I came across an envelope with Galina Cross written on it. After I grew out some saved seeds for the orignal Galina I got nada that looked like Galina, no PL, no great tasting gold cherries.

I won't string this out. One of the plants, there were many with different colored cherries on each of the different plants, salmon and yellow and pink and red and almost white fruits on different plants.

So for reasons I'm not going to go into here I sent seeds of what I first called Ivory Mutant to a friend, it was he who named it Dr. Carolyn, as a surpise, harumphhhn and so what?

Well, that mutated to Dr., Carolyn Pink, then Dr C mutated to the Green when ripe Green Doctors and then that mutated to Green Doctors Frosted and I don't know what will appear next.

I'd better look at the age of those seeds but heck, what a wonderful range of possibilities with the who knows what comes next tag on them.

HI Joe,
I don't suppose you have a picture of the big parent- Casino- that you could post.

Hi Jeff, I wish I could post a pic of the mother plant Casino. But I am not computer savy enough to post a pic via the post quick reply method. I would need to start a new thread to upload the picture. Sorry

Seeds received! Thank you, Casino. Hope to taste these this year. I talked to a friend of mine who is more inland and she will be starting seeds soon, so I'll start them and then visit her location to see progress and do some tasting and seed saving.
