True North Tomatoes - Page 18

The opposite of midnight sun in northern terms is polar night so maybe that is a fun name.

I think of a dark tomato when I see night. How does BC sunset, or Canadian Sunstreak feel?

Yum, those "Rainbow Clouds" are as pretty as the tomato for sure!

KarenO, the pink and green also reminds me of those beautiful patches of wildflowers in the tundra in summertime.
"River Beauty" is the name of a gorgeous pink one - actually a type of dwarf fireweed, that is important as a food in the far north, as well as a sight to behold.

My immediate thought was "Midnight Streaker" and that name reminds me of some shenanigans in a previous life...

I am excited to grow out the F5 of these PL hearts for 2017 they are looking fairly uniform so far. We have a great New home in a beautiful little town, a new Garden and lots to look forward to in the new year! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you.
I hope Santa brings me those movable cold frames...

Beautiful tomatoes, worthy of an equally great name.

It does get harder to find unused ones, however, so careful checking is needed to prevent confusion. http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Aurora

"true colours" will be the name of my green bicolour potato leaf heart.
So there are four in this Series now at F5: all clear epidermis hearts on large potato leaf plants.

Midnight sun
Polaris
Tundra
True colours ( a take on True North Tomatoes which is what I call my projects.

I am thankful for your interest in my breeding projects and look forward to being able to share stable seed with everyone. Now that these selections are narrowed down to four and stabilizing, I have room to begin a growout and select some of the F2 from another There are some beautiful beefsteaks with interesting form and coloration both RL and PL.
My dad who died in 2014 was always interested in my Tomatoes. He was a farmer, an actual cowboy and a horseman and I intend to use this as the inspiration for another "True North Tomatoes" series from my crosses.

Merry Christmas Friends
