Hi Karen,

Had our first Tundra tomato. It is a fused mega blossom and ended up being the largest tomato my garden has ever produced, 1.75 lbs. I know not the intended shape and size but plenty growing on the plant that look the part.

Now onto flavor. Had three tasters and we were all blown away. What an incredibly delicious tomato. Rich, sweet, acidic all at once, juicy yet great texture. Definitely among the best flavored tomatoes I’ve grown. Pat yourself on the back! We can’t wait for more ripe ones.

Holy wow that’s a big one :)
I’m delighted with your review of the flavour! Thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoy it and I hope you get lots more.

I ate my first Tundra today too! It had a small amount of sunscald on one shoulder, but that did not affect the taste, very good! It was just a little under one pound, at 13.4 oz.

So far, I have also had a couple ripe each of KARMA Peach, and KARMA Miracle. Both very tasty. KARMA Apricot is just dragging it's heels and being coy!

Beauties Dee! I’m so pleased you like them. Hurry up apricot!

I took some photos last weekend. We had a very sunny, hot week, so they look different now, they started to change the color. I will show more photos soon.

Tundra, Taiga, True Colors, Polaris

Newest named one and going to F6 this is “Bloodstone” smaller potato leaf plants, the earliest and most uniform of this group. . Delicious rich flavour, purple- red and meaty with a clear epidermis and a slight green shoulder remaining at full ripe.

Finally picked the first 3 ripe fruit from my Taiga plants. They took a long time (it seemed to me) to mature, but then started blushing almost at the same time - even though one of the plants didn't set until much later than the other one. Maybe a weather thing? In any case, so far the two I've eaten have been very good, meaty and almost fruity. They haven't set a ton of fruit so far, but I also got a pretty late start, so we'll see how we do here in the summer home stretch. I will say that they have been consistently healthy so far and for whatever reason the aphids mostly avoided them.

I sliced one up along with a cucumber and some salad dressing for an afternoon snack.

And finally, three of them are ripe. Last year Taiga was quite late too. So, I am waiting.
Thay are beautiful, meaty hearts, sweet and so tasty. Polaris is an incredible tomato, beautiful, with complex flavor.

Karen, thank you so much.:)

True Colors and Polaris

KarenO August 23, 2020 03:57 PM

Beautiful Dorota! Hope they were worth waiting for.
True colours is earlier for me by a bit but I’ve had ripe ones since July. Every area is so different that’s for sure.
