It's "Oxheart Giantissimo", from Nichol's Nursery, here.

I looked it up on too but it turns out "giant ox heart" is pretty common so I didn't have much luck!

Looks like we have a battle of the sexes going on -- Tania has them listed as the feminine Giantissima, and Nichols is going with the masculine Giantissimo...

How does Russian Potato stack up for DTM? early, mid or late?

DTM was about 70-75 days. That's 3-5 days earlier than just about all beefsteaks and hearts, in my garden.

Sounds good! Thank you Gary.

I got a packet of Marjara tomato, and can't find anything about it, except that it is sweet.

Does anyone have any information on the Marjara?

Thanks.

I'm starting to really wish people hadn't named so many heart tomatoes after cows, bulls, and oxen -- it's so generic it's worse than googling for info about the "Delicious" tomato.

What attracted me to these is the color -- I've never had a pink tomato and I'm looking forward to trying one! -- and the size.

I think my only real question right now is the one everyone else is facing -- how do I narrow this list down to something even approaching reality? And how do I convince my spouse to dig up more lawn?

It seems that narrowing the list down to reality is, sadly, something quite out of the question

Convincing your spouse - well, don't the experts say that communication is the key element for marital happiness..

I had asked my husband last night with seeds all over coffee table, How much of the landlords grass can be dug up without them getting mad?" My husband just looked at me and then the seeds then me again and said. "I just do not know"

Thanks for this on the Marjara tomato, Gary. My search hadn't found this site.

I am looking for info on a tomato called Croafia Joanna? It also added in YMCA

Father'sDaughter · January 20, 2014

Try googling Croatia Joanna YMCA and you should come up with a few threads here where it's mentioned.

I think I answered this one, last year. It's either pulling from the hat or the dart board method of "choosing".

Perfectly normal

I have planted quite a few of the seeds that came in. I will see what comes up with what I already had planted. I will plant up and then fully decide what goes in the garden. I think I will have to determine how many I can plant on how many holes my husband can dig. I will get him on a workout regimen specially suited to this ASAP
