I can't believe I just read all what was it,maybe 22 pages in this thread, but when your post came up Darin,since I had posted several times since it was started in 2015, I got a notice sent to me at home.
I see where I had said that fruit size meant nothing to me,I grow tomatoes only for taste.
Then a bit later someone said they ate all of the tomatoes they grew, but I didn't go back and say I could send the person seeds that once grown and fruits tasted the person would never grow them again.
In all 20 some pages only ONE heart variety was refered to previously,and that was Darin who posted about what he named DLH in post #254.
And Darin just posted again in this post about his DLH.
I don't participate in any contests re the biggest tomatoes grown, but I do understand why some are so fascinated with doing so.
Am I going to have Rob grow me some seedlings that will grow some big ones? Well not deliberately,that's for sure. There won't be that many for Freda/Rob, for Freda to care for me, but I think they will be a mixture of great tasting ones, mostly hearts,which I love, and then some small ones such as Rosa de Zarautz, etc, some multiflora's of different colors,perhaps some beefsteak ones I haven't grown in many years, and for sure some green when ripe ones, which I always love.
I have few newer seeds left here at home, having sent them to Shawn for the seed offer now up, but not for long for this summer. But Shawn has also told me that if there are any seeds I'd like back for this summer,it's done deal.
And to everyone reading here and has posted previously,and who will then get a notice sent to them,here's to this summer's tomato season,of one with weather not too damaging,not too many diseases, etc.,in other words a GREAT tomato season for everyone.
