You have a wonderful sense of mission, I think - thank you, Marsha! ( and certainly Karen, too!!)

I swear I'm going to stop growing so many varieties then I look at all these new varieties being bred by people like Marsha and the voice in my head screams "you gotta grow that one!" Sigh...great work y'all. Looks like a dead ringer for baby Cap. Lucky.

You know I can't take breeding credit. That was all Karen. So happy to read about your excitement.

Six varieties that you are stabilizing? Wow, that must be fun to see that much of interesting diversity from one cross.

Woo hoo!!! Maybe I've missed it, have either Karen or Marsha written up the flavor descriptions of each of the Karmas? My mouth is watering as I look out on the below zero landscape.

The pink are a solid 9.9/10. Hard to imagine a tomato able to taste better. The purples and miracle are all about a 9/10, but will get even better when it's warmer, like February or so. The apricot wasn't tasted yet, but last year it was a 9.

Notice that these are all cherries, all F6 or F7, but none have only two locules.

All I can say is Yummmmmmmmmm! Those look so tasty! And you know you're killing me here with my -25F nights and foot of snow by showing me those lovely little morsels!

Makes my heart happy to see them. I’m Very proud of our project!
Thrilled that the flavour remains excellent and the diversity in colours all on Potato leaf plants makes them new and interesting I think. I hope others will think so too and want to try them in their garden!
