The correct naming above for you Darin and some others,but not the correct name for many others who prefer Omar's Lebanese Heart and I'm now in contact with Omar.. Carolyn,who will get back to you soon on the Lebanese situation as well since we now have 4 persons from Lebanon who go back every few years to visit..Even discussed at one point the Cedars of Lebanon and I referenced some archaeology work that has been done to determine the age of planks and logs found in a dig.I love my history of this and that.

Carolyn, it absolutely does not matter that you, or anyone else prefers the name Omar's Lebanese Heart, to the already established name that Darin has chosen of Dotson's Lebanese Heart. Seeds have already been distributed and it is listed that way in the Tomatobase.
Omar did NOT have a heart from his tomato. You did not ever have a heart from Omar's tomato. Apparantly, no one EVER had a heart from Omar's tomato until Darin found one in his garden two years ago. He did not receive his seeds from Omar, he did not receive his seeds from you. He purchased his seeds from Totally Tomatoes, a commercial company and who knows how many generations and years their growers seeds were removed from those first ones supplied by Omar. In all those years, no one came forward with a heart until Darin. He found it and has every right to call it whatever he wants. Not what you want, and not what anyone else wants. This is now Darin's find, and Omar can no longer take any credit for it.

Tomatoes are just starting to ripen for me, and most of the first ones have BER from inconsistent watering. The taste winners so far, out of about 10 varieties, are Brutus and Green Gables. (Thanks to Marsha for seeds!) Sweet and luscious. It's so early in the season that every tomato tastes great, but these two are outstanding. Also notable are Jersey Devil and Black from Tula, which are the most productive so far and have had no BER.
Of the cherries. SunSugar F1 and Indigo Kumquat F1 are wonderful. They're both in the shady backyard, so are not very productive. |

Yes, Darin sent seeds of his heart version to both Marsha and myself, but I was in the hospital then rehab at the time, so didn't get them until later. Dutch was the person in my seed producer group who elected to do seed production and he saved lots of seeds.I had told Darin that Dutch confirmed it was a heart and he asked if I could put him in touch with Dutch, I said yes, but that was a big mistake other than Dutch showing him pictures of the plants with hearts.. And why was it my mistake?B/c Darin kept asking Dutch for more and more seeds, Dutch ended up sending him about 400 seeds,and Darin turned around and made a seed off with Dutch's seeds without even mentioning Dutch as his seed source as I recall but would have to confirm that. After that I told my seed producers that they were there to produce seeds for my seed offers ,they knew that already and loved growing out new varieties,and those who are SSE members for their listings there.Of course as soon as my seed offers went up, those who had done seed production could share with whomever they wanted to,and did. What you see at Tania's listing now,is NOT what it originally was, since Darin had made some claims that were not true.Dutch asked Tania's permission to correct some of the errors, and he told her how he was involved, and she agreed, but soon got very upset to find herself in a political situation.What you see now at her site is this http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/D...Lebanese_Heart The only issue remaining was when Darin said that the Dotson was formerly known as Omar's Lebanese Heart, no, not formerly at all. You said that Darin had the RIGHT to name it as he did,I'd be glad to link to the three very contentious threads where all of this was argued,so you can count how many agreed,or disagreed as to his RIGHT. I've kept all 3 three threads in my faves. I offered to him that I would be glad to list it as Omar's Lebanese Heart,aka Dotsons Lebanese Heart, he wasn't willing to even negotiate at all.After all there would be no heart form at all if it weren't for the original Omar's Lebanese, which is important to remember. (Omar did NOT have a heart from his tomato. You did not ever have a heart from Omar's tomato. Apparantly, no one EVER had a heart from Omar's tomato until Darin found one in his garden two years ago. He did not receive his seeds from Omar, he did not receive his seeds from you. He purchased his seeds) The above is all true as I tried so desperately to explain to you. Again, your last sentence, Omar NEVER took any credit for a heart version,he didn't even know there was one when I finally got in touch with him and told him.. That is important to know. Why oh why does this issue continue to go on and on and on,but my offer to you to link to those three horrible threads is still valid if you want to confirm what I said above. Carolyn Q.E.D.

I was very pleased with Danko this year which I grew in a 7 gallon container. Early, very productive and held out a long time. The taste was good to me and I will grow it again as a paste and salsa tomato.

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Danko And I still don't know since all it says it that Andrey and I SSE listed it in was it 2008, so I'd have to go back to some of my earlier SSE Year books to find out. Carolyn

Only to say that I found the envelope that Darin sent me with the seeds a few weeks ago and on the seed pack he had written POSSIBLY a heart form of Omar's Lebanese, and that can be confirmed by any of my seed producers since I listed it as possibly a heart form of Omar's Lebanese for them to chose from, which Dutch did so chose.This before he decided to rename it. Enough is enough for me, I'm out. Carolyn,who still has other info to share with Darin, but not related to this issue at all.

http://tomatoville.com/showthread.ph...t=tsar-kolokol For anyone who gets commercial seed packs in another language,I know you'll enjoy the thread, which dates back to 2007 and you'll also recognize many who answered who are still major posters here today. So my Danko seeds were directly from Russia. Enjoy! Carolyn
