starting to pick a few Anna Margaret's Hearts...
This is one of Carolyn's SSE listings this year from seeds that originally came from my now deceased aunt. The plants were transplanted about the third week of May and are starting to ripen about the second week of August. Here are a few pictures of some that I picked today to make a batch of salsa, all over a pound apiece, with the largest over 26 ounces. And I have a couple more which should go over 2 pounds apiece when they do ripen.

Very good flavor, meaty, with not a lot of seeds...little bit on the sweet side.

So pretty. Looks like a challenge to get seeds from. Making me hungry, and it's only 6 am.

Here is a picture of what I picked yesterday from a number of my aunt's tomato plants. I had 4 or 5 that exceeded 2#, with the largest showing 2.34#. Presently working on canning a huge batch of salsa with these and assorted peppers from the garden. The first picture has a decent shot of what my 1500 gallon koi pond looks like, but the butterfly koi wouldn't stay still for a good image(center left)

Holy Moly! What a beautiful sight - and they taste good too! Makes me want to start chopping onions and prepping jars...

I'd like to thank George again for sending me seeds, he sent several packs of seeds and I offered it in my January seed offer here.
Without checking, I'm sure I have enough seeds to reoffer it in my upcoming Jan offer. And yes, I did SSE list it for 2014 and since this is the last year I will list varieties with SSE I listed only 6 varieties and I had a lot to choose from, so that should tell you how much those who got it from my seed offer last year and reported back in the Fall feedback thread , as well as I think one of my seed producers also grew it, and liked it very much as well. Carolyn
