No pictures yet, but I want to get a post out. Ideally I will add to this throughout the season, but who knows. I can’t make content promises when my babies are my highest priority and the little one is a Velcro baby 87% of the time.
One of the varieties of tomato I treated my seed collection to, I bought this one purely because of the name. Also, I have liked every heart shaped tomato I have grown previously, so this one was an easy sell
I (obviously) don’t have any experience growing this one yet, but I am still making a post about it and any history I can find that is relevant in sharing. I got these seeds from Happy Tomato.
Basics: Indeterminant, Regular leaf, mid season.
Developed in Russia. The plants have shown good resistance to disease.
Said to be meaty with few seeds. I like this quality for making sauces. Everything I’ve found has also said it has a sweet, balanced flavour.
So as far as my personal experience, I started my tomatoes super late. I almost didn’t start any at all this year, even though I bought like 21 new varieties. And then I was only going to start a few, and then ended up sowing every new tomato seed I have, and then some older ones that I didn’t end up sowing because I was busy with babies and dying parents. Anyway, the seeds germinated in like 3 days! We are roughly 3-5 weeks away from these being able to go outside and they are just getting their first true leaves. This is going to be the first time ever that my tomatoes wont be leggy and struggling because of me being too gung-ho way too early in the season. Hopefully we still get a decent summer.
