Both "Ludmillas" - Pink Heart and Red Plum showed high yields (at least for me).

Good catch Clara b'c I wass initially confused as well as to whether Ludmilla had acquired the three varieties, the pink heart, the red plum and now the large yellow, while living in Germany or brought them from Kazachstan and e-mailed him and he said she had brought them with her from Kazachstan.
So Adam, you might want to fix both Ludmilla's Red Plum and also Ludmilla's PInk Heart to reflect that those two varieties were originally form Kazachstan and are not German heirlooms.
