No ripe ones yet, I would think maybe another 3 weeks or so.
Looking forward to seeing the colours KarenO |

Lots going on in the little dwarf patch at home. I’m particularly pleased with this larger regular leaf Multiflora dwarf group. Three plants crowded in one large pot. No disease at all and producing bowlfuls of beautiful dark cherries. One larger mire rounded and two smaller heart shaped selections.
Really making me wish I had grown them properly but next year I will give them each a chance to show me what they really can do in good conditions. Flavour is great, especially the largest with the star pattern on the blossom ends. |

Those look amazing, Karen. Almost too pretty to eat! Having so many promising directions must make it hard to choose what to stabilize.

I’m quite excited about these potato leaf pastes. F5 now there are red, chocolate and yellow/red bicolour siblings. All very large fruit

Fabulous looking fruit Karen. If they match the standard of your previous releases I can't wait to try them Down Under.

The best selections
The blocky hollow ones I don’t like as well as the pointed long ones. These are juicy and flavourful enough to be eaten as fresh slicers. The green bicolour was a fun surprise in the chocolate group. All potato leaf All F5 All midseason first ripe fruit about July 20 from seeds planted March 23 Something new in a sauce tomato. I find many indeterminate pastes are too late for my area They all seem to not have had issues this year at least with BER either which I find can plague some varieties with this shape sometimes There is a plain red as well, interestingly not quite ripe yet. jury is out on that one although it’s also potato leaf so that’s something different. These three for sure will all be grown again next year There is a video that shows the plants on my northern gardener, Instagram and Facebook if anyone is interested to have a look at that KarenO |

KarenO, I am finally getting help from the USDA and my Visit with the USDA Officials to see my "8-foot Premanet Staking my Heirloom Tomatoes was very interesting in understanding the "Verticle Farming" of my Historical Heirloom Tomatoes and Vegetables, Amen!! They were impressed with my Cucumbers and Heirloom tomatoes growing up in my Pretty 8-foot Staking. They were surprised at how I displayed my Heirloom Tomatoes & vegetables on Pretty Plates and Pretty Bowls to sell them.
Well, I need to learn to weigh them first and placed them in Bushels for proper recording of my Different Crops each year. I guess we the "Female Farmers of the United States" just want everything "Beautiful with our Colorful Good Tasting Tomatoes, Amen!! Where can I find Bushel Baskets Wholesale? Hopefully, I can Find Pretty Bushel Baskets in different Coloras , Amen!! Or maybe I go down to the Dollar Store and find "Pretty Plates like KarenO" To display under the Bushel Baskets showing the beautiful colors of my different Heirloom Tomatoes! KarenO; Do you have a Picture of your colorful tomatoes in a plain Bushel Basket? ![]()
