My best tomatoes from Tomatoville

[PhilaGardener]

Just beautiful! and delicious too, I am sure!

Acme is one of my best tomatoes. Very good taste, high yield from July to now. I got the seeds from Container Ted. When I was looking for Tatiana's TOMATObase, there was only: Acme de Giorgi (Offered commercially by the De Giorgi Brothers Seed Company of Council Bluffs, Iowa, who was in business in the early 1900s and contemporaries of the AW Livingston Seed Company. , De Giorgi tomato seems to be different from Livingston's Acme.). Red tomato, I would say that my Acme is rather black. Can anyone advise me where to include this tomato?

First time looking at this thread. Vladimir your pictures are stunning.
I have several tiny seedlings of Ludmilla's (Thank you Karen) and now I just can't wait to try it. Ludmilla's PH is the Mother of KarenO 's True North PL hearts, which are nearing stability, one is a bi color, so I think that will interest you. She will announce when they are stable to release seeds.
Karen is a brilliant woman who thinks about the end result she wants when doing breeding, nothing is random, except how they segregate, lol. I am so glad you are interested in the Karmas, the KARMA pink will be at F7 in January if all goes well here in Florida. She might just be making her debut, we'll see.

Ted describes this tomato as "Crimson". Perhaps he will see this thread and respond.

Marsha got seeds from Karen, who got her seeds from me who offered it in several seed offers here, and I got it from Reinhard Kraft in Germany, and Reinhard got 3 Ludmilla's from Ludmilla herself and note there are two other Ludmilla's as well and I really like the red plum one but not so much the yellow one.

Summary? these seeds have been on quite a trip through many hands, and I'm glad I could at least contribute to the Karma project although I'm not part of it.

Yes, tomatoes of Karen likes me very much, and it will be my pleasure to try them in my garden sometimes.

I have a volunteer grape/cherry growing on the stuff that I dug out of the compost hole.
It kept fruiting like crazy until August. Then I just neglected it. Now it is flowering like multiflora.
I had to water it the other day. I might give it some ferts too. I will sure save seeds for next season.
There goes my unknown multiflora.

[HudsonValley]

I had an off-type from an MMMM packet of Brandywine, Sudduth's that produced a 9-foot-tall RL plant bearing small (1-2 oz.) pink fruit. I wish I knew what they were; they're delicious! (It was just one seed that produced the off-type; the rest were as expected. Incidentally, Brandywine's flavor just isn't my thing...)

[ContainerTed]

My seed source was Sandhill. One of the descriptions I found called the color "....a deep purplish red color". That might explain some folks getting a darker coloring. And it may vary depending on the grower's environmental factors.

Just one photo of big hearts for eye pleasure.

Did I read correctly that the Karma(Karen/Marsha Tomato) was initially a Ludmilla's??

No.
The KARMAs are a line potato leaf cocktail cherries that resulted from my cross of ambrosia gold x Captain Lucky

Ludmilla pink heart x captain Lucky was my cross that resulted in my midnight sun, Polaris, true colours and Taiga. This group of tomatoes has been my first and my solo project.
I used Ludmillas pink heart because it is very early for a large tomato and has a beautiful smooth shape. Sweet flavour.

Thanks Karen, I do have Karma Purple, Captain Lucky, and Karma Pink growing now therefore my interest - You cleared it up. I do not have the multi floral of the Karma's though.
