Thank you for correcting me Carolyn. I certainly wouldn't want to misspell Tollie's last name. I think I will post without putting the breeder info from now on. Just to be safe.

So I do hope that you continue to give credit to the person(s) who breed varieties. Heck, do you know how many times I've misspelled someones name, I'll just say many times and leave it at that. Carolyn

Iraqi Heart
Unfortunate name for this sweet meaty very productive plant with fruits that are between paste and heart sized. Flavor is so sweet. I just love this fresh, but I can't wait to make a batch of ketchup using this.
Indet. wispy RL foliage, very long vines. |

Iraqi Heart cut fruit. Saving lots of seeds, and for sure I will grow again.

Maglia Rosa
This is such a beautiful and prolific small fruited tomato. Flavor is wonderful too. My plant is compact with finer RL foliage, almost wispy. Really enjoying this one.

George Detsikas Italian Red
Large productive very meaty, almost dry, excellent for sauce, fresh eating for me maybe not as much, but this was the first ones off the plant, and those are often drier, this one even showed puffiness, so I can't really judge until later. This plant set lots of these large fruits even in our warmer conditions. RL, ribbed, red, 10-12 oz. thank you Tam for the seeds.
I will taste the less ripe one in a few days. |

this is a lovely balanced flavored pink heart, usually has antho but mine didn't get a lot of direct sun. Good producer. RL wispy foliage, plant about 6.5 feet tall. Medium production, flavor was an 8!

Carbon is outstanding, when all things combine adequately it can be superb.
I have George Detsikas growing right now too, and I'll be tasting it in about 2 weeks. And over here it set a lot of fruit, even in adverse conditions (cold, hot, and disease laden whiteflies). Maglia Rosa is at seedling stage. I'll be tasting them around Mardi Gras. Great pics! |

Yes! Carbon is one of my favorites! Also a new red tomato for me this season is Aker's West Virginia! Outstanding old-fashioned tomato taste. Fruit are all close to a pound and heavy producer. Give it a try if you haven't all ready.
