My first tomato from Carolyn's seed offer. Fabulous looking tomato and much bigger than I expected!

That looks lovely. Please let us know how it tastes!

Double Helix Farms seems to think it tastes pretty great:

Very pretty Marsha!

I'm curious if this is related to the Shokolad Chudo tomato (AKA Chocolate Miracle) available at the following site: [url]http://www.amishlandseeds.com/russian_tomatoes.htm[/url]

I'll try to say this delicately, but many of us know that you can trust very little that Lisa at Amishland says. She says so many are exclusive to her, they are not, she says she's the only one offering this or that, she is not. She was once invited to a message site to defend herself, said she was sorry, gets carried away sometimes, was OK for a year and then she went back again to her long descriptions, not giving credit to those who should get credit . I had introduced two varieties that had Amish as part of the name and when I saw what she wrote I couldn't believe it. She introduced what she said was Native American, but was really Cherokee Purple. Craig L who did introduce CP and was not amused. There were many others she also changed the names of to indicate something rare and unique which was obviously a PRploy/ If you go the Seed Source Forum here I think you'll find a thread all about her Amishland echoing what I'm trying to say here. I found the link for you [url]http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=2441[/url] Carolyn |

We are in the high 80s low 90s most all summer and i don't water tomatoes except at plant out. |
Thanks, Carolyn. So, do you suspect Chocolate Miracle is a re-branded tomato? Have you heard of it before?
What are your favorite online tomato stores? I'm looking for Japanese Trifele Yellow (which both Marianna's Heirloom Seeds and Amishland Seeds offer). Marianna's Heirloom Seeds' site is down, currently (I'm hoping it'll get up again, soon). So, I was considering Amishland Seeds, getting Japanese Trifele Yellow and Chocolate Miracle there. I saw that they don't offer a lot of seeds, though. I'm waiting for Marianna's Heirloom Seeds to get back online. I hope they know their site is down. I meant to call them, today, but it's too late, now. I don't mean to be in a hurry to buy tomatoes, though. I think I'm just addicted to seeds. |

Thanks for the feedback. :) Did you notice any fruits set when temperatures were in the low 90s, particularly? |
I typically get 2-3 flushes of blooms on all my plants. I dont recall anything odd about Raspberry Miracle like a reduced fruit set so i believe it may be a good one for you to try

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tomato. I ordered some raspberry miracle seeds from double helix not too long ago. Looking forward to this tomato very much now.
Somehow, I acquired too many seeds and had to reorder my grow list multiple times. Thank you for posting. You just added it back on my list :) |

I notice another seller is selling Chocolate Miracle: [url]http://princesilverseeds.com/shop/seeds/tomato/[/url] That seems to add some extra credence, given the description. I haven't researched that site, though. |

I have seeds for Shokoladnoe Chudo, listed translation as Chocolate wonder. I bought them from a seller in Ukraine off of Ebay last year with some other types, and yes I know to not always trust ebay lol. Is this the same as Chocolate miracle? Sorry to hijack the thread Barbee. |
