from 2018 and before . This year was a restart up after a year break and a cut back and moderation of sorts …..so I think I do not have the luxury much of new varieties for this year ……. But already next year 2021 : I would like to go for Sean's Yellow Dwarf …. Uluru Ochre I have seeds …..but next next year lol

Denise, I am also going back to Worry F3. Two years ago I had a small heart/paste with a wonderful flavour and was productive too. Last years attempts from that one were a bust. Going back to find THE one!
Blackbear - hope you have a good season, you have some very fine varieties lined up to go.

Nobody will starve for lack of tomatoes around here …
but it still is killing me to "hold the line " at 40 varieties. And they are all good ones to me …. I have had great luck with them all …

Hey BB,
Who was your seed source for Velmozha and Zolotoe Serdtse? Andrey has identified these as good early hearts and so I'll be wanting to try them in 2021. rg |

I think I got Velmozha from Tatiana's ? and Zolotoe Serdtse from Victory Seeds ? I have settled also with Danko and EM champion for early hearts .. depending on the year ...one is more productive than the others … You will not be disappointed ….. ![]() ![]()

There are also a bunch of indeterminate hearts recommended by Andrey which I am trying, but that is a whole different conversation, outside of this thread. ![]() Last edited by RJGlew; March 17, 2020 at 03:30 PM. |

![]() I used to grow Monomakh's Hat it was semi determinate for me and nice big heart fruit but not as container friendly as EM Champion and Velmozha and Danko and golden heart. I can also recommend the dwarf project heart .. Pink Passion as well for heart earliness. lol
