Question on Glacier's leaves

Lorri D · April 18, 2012

This is the first time I have started these. I planted 6 Glacier variety tomatoes. They are about 4 weeks old and two of them have very straight, perfect, tear drop shaped leaves and the others are close to being tear drop shaped, but have scalloped/ragged shaped leaves. They were the only tomatoes I planted that night, so I know I didn't mix up my seeds. So, I'm just wondering if it means that my packet had different varieties in it or do the leaf shape vary on these? Thanks so much!

Glacier has PL ( potato leaf) foliage. I wanted to link to the page at Tania's site for it but downloading is slow tonight, so I decided to go to Google IMAGES and here's the link to that:

If you put your mouse pointer over a photo it will tell you if it's Glacier and the source of the picture, b'c I think there are some varieties there that aren't Glacier, but you should be able to see the PL foliage on most of the Glacier photos.

Did you purchase your seeds or trade for them?

My two smooth leaved plants are a 100% match to some in the top row of the google search. I guess I will get to see what the other four turn into. My order otherwise was very good. These came from Totally Tomatoes. I got half of my selections from them. I had a 100% germination from their seeds, so I am very happy about that. I actually have too many plants. I did not expect such great germination rates, so this is kinda fun to grow them out and wait an see what I get. Thank you for your help, Lorri
