My best tomatoes from Tomatoville
Four years ago, I became a member of Tomatville. Thanks to friends Tania, Tormato and many others, I could taste many interesting tomatoes. Yesterday I planted tomatoes and I realized that some of the tomatoes, which I got the seeds through Tomatville, really got to my heart. Which are they?

It seems to me you are big fan of heart shaped tomatoes, Vladimir.
I want you to try more Russian varieties in the next season. Gonna prepair a mix of good reliable varieties for you in autumn.

I haven't tried more than one or two on your list, but I now have seeds for many of them thanks to members here, and I hope to try them soon.
I never knew heart shaped tomatoes existed before I joined here. They do much better in my garden than many beefsteaks I've grown. |

I just checked and here's what I found http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Puszta_Kolosz So from Cluj, and I was once sent a great yellow cherry from Cluj http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Cluj_Yellow_Cherry I think you meant to say Ludmilla's Pink Heart And I think your Alice one is probably this one http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Alice%27s_Egypt which I've also grown. I know you'll like many of them, and let me know if your Indian Stripe is RL or PL, it could be either one, just curious. Carolyn

I got the seeds from Moshou, nice berries, growing well in my conditions and tasting me Ludmila´s Pink Heart I only forgot to write that Pink Alice I got the seeds from Tormato in MMMM under the name of Alice. I still hold this name. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Alice Indian Stripe I have the original seed from Diane's Flower Seeds. They were always RL. A nice day. Vladimír |

My favorites I've received via Tomatoville have been these (all grown last year; I'm growing most of them again, this year, and I'm sure I'll grow the one exception again some time, as it was one of my favorites):
* Chapman * Ron's Carbon Copy * Medovaya Kaplya * The tomato that was supposed to be Jim Dandy (tasted kind of like butterscotch) * The tomato that was supposed to be Ambrosia Red * George Detsikas Italian Red * Monroe I'm excited to see how they do on their second year. |

Even though the Hearts are still green, they are beautiful.

Me too! I've been sitting on Kukla's Portuguese Heart and Kosovo seeds for several years now. Last year I tried to grow Orange Russian 117 but it fell early along with most other plants, so I need to try again now that I'm grafting. This year along with Cuor Di Bue (the pink heart) and Russian 117, I have Orange Minsk Heart growing and while it is loading up with fruit, I'm still many weeks away from ripe fruit. |
