My what lovely tomatoes you have!!!! I didn't realize some hearts could get that big. I knew I wanted to get a couple of hearts this year from the swap, now I know what to ask for. I have only grown a couple of hearts, but I actually like the taste of them better on a sandwich than the bigger ones. More flavor to me.
Tanks for sharing pics. |

Agree, there is no heart I did not like yet. Although this size of hearts is kinda rare for me.
Dogs for once were polite to wait till I cut them and they got their share- there was plenty to go around LOL Rest of it went into wonderful salsa, Jillian shared with us in another thread. People love it. Carolyn, thanks much for looking and introducing new varieties. I love Vjerino, very good taste! Happy, no secrets here, and I think of myself as average gardener, so many thanks for compliments! I start early in WOW's and thus get earlier than most in our area results. I also test soil regularly and adjust. Last edited by Lindalana; July 30, 2016 at 03:17 PM. |

Very nice photos of beautiful tomatoes.... I'm growing Bull's Heart for the second year and recently picked one that weighed 1.75 pounds approximately, not exact because I don't have a digital scale and had to use an old postal scale at work. My business partner cut into it and ate a quarter before I could get a picture. I haven't tried one yet this year since I have a lot of varieties, but gave a few to my neighbor last week. Yesterday, when I pulled up he was right there like he was waiting for me, asking did I have anymore of those bullet shaped tomatoes. I think the heart shapes are going to be high on my future grow lists....
