1) PINK FURRY BOAR
2) BYCHYE SERDTSE ORANZHEVOE
3) CARBON
4) KOSOVO

1 didn't germinate. 2 was growing well but my 1 year old son stepped on the seedlings and killed them. 3 died of unknwown reasons shortly after transplant in the garden. Of 4 I didn't get the seeds.

I guess I'll give them another try in 2018.

good ones ! notable varieties ...to bad ....but 2017 is lots of prep for 2018 whilst gardening for current 2017..

If it was an indeterminate, I would grow it to add to mixed bowls of cherries. It's said to have a smoky flavor.

Where do you get "New Hampshire Pickling tomato " ?

sounds interesting ornamental etc. I think I like the idea of

pickled tomatoes with a plum/ or egg or / pear shape /.


Ones of note that have been useful for pickling ...Britains breakfast ,

unikainyi , Uspek .

I have been wanting to pursue the Pickled Tomato culture for years

but have not as of yet .

No !... it is just a sad realization that in this realm of existence

even a Black bear is a finite entity ....and the Tomato varieties to try will outlast the bear !

Obskie Kupola F1 (named after a great Siberian river Ob) is from the same excellent collection of heart shaped tomato varieties like EM Champion, Shapka Monomakha, Mazarini etc. of Siberian seed company Sibirskiy Sad.

I'll have to try more of the compact hearts, this year I am growing one Siberian variety called Obski Kupola (thanks Andrey). It looks like a heart in the pic, very compact growth, like a dwarf.

I will look out for some localized sources of Obskie Kupola F1 (named after a great Siberian river Ob)and Mazarini .......


A Hybrid ? Obskie Kupola F1 .....wow it sounds like the super duper of hearts

etc......Is anyone working to "de hybridize " that one
