I agree, Margaret Curtain is now one of my favs also, thanks to you Marsha for the seeds and introducing it to us here.
I also had Olive Hill from Remy, like natural posted, but it was not remarkable in any way back when I grew it several years ago so I never grew it again. But now I'll have to try it one more time since you rave about it here. Ok, twist my arm Marsha!

Marsha, are you sure that Napa Chardonnay has a bit of antho on top? I could never decide if it was a hint of antho or light brown....

I'm pretty sure it's antho because of the dark stems.

Okay, but when you have a look at your own tomatoes (wonderful pic btw!) , would you call that color "antho"? Without the stems, when only looking at the tomatoes, I can't decide which color it is.

Your pics sure were a sight for these Michigan January eyes, Marsha. Thanks for posting those beauties.

Ironically, I ordered Curtis Cheek just yesterday to trial. How would you rate its productivity?

Yes, it is antho. Thank you for the nice compliment.

It's not bad on productivity. I've seen a lot that were worse, not as good as some I would call productive. The fruit are huge, and taste oh so good.

Maybe you need different Olive Hill seeds. Some will be ready in a few weeks.(if Tville stays open)

Is Tomatoville in danger of being eliminated?

Some of my dwarfs. This is the first time I have grown Mr. Snow, and I am absolutely in love with it. I can not believe how delicious it is. Molasses is a PL multiflora dwarf. Second year growing Not Coorong Pink, Craig L. says it hasn't been named yet.

This gorgeous orange heart is Nizami. Stingy on seeds, I think I will have to save from about 5 fruit. This was so hard to come by, and only 1 of 8 seeds germinated for me, but I got lucky. Thank you Shelley for the seeds, I'll pass it along, because it's sweet, meaty, and delicious.

Since you like Mr. Snow, have you grown Summertime Green? It is from the same cross and is very good (and I know you like GWRs).
