WOW, Marsha! What a gorgeous list and sooo many varieties! I hope all will do well in your climate, hurricanes will spare your region (and others of course, too!) and you will get your usual abundant crop! Good luck!

Just a few suggestions.

Which Brutus,there are several, not all the same.

For the Heart of ash one I've seen it spelled two ways since someone here was growing it, I don't remember who that was or when so I googled it again.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Hear...&bih=815&dpr=1

And of course you list many ones familiar to lots of folks,But why not since Shawn and I did the same .

And that since there are many new members at Tville and actually older members as well,who haven't heard of lots of varieties.

I made the correction on the heart of A. Thank you. I got the Brutus from Andrey_By a few years ago, he simply called it Brutus.

What an exciting list of tomatoes! Thank you so much for sharing all of your pictures, your great knowledge, and of course your generous seeds. I like the term Queen Bee. (smile smile)

This may help regarding the various Brutus versions, read the Tomatoville one first since there was also a Brutus F1, which someone tried to dehybridize, and more.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Brut...&bih=815&dpr=1

I've been getting seeds from Andrey for many years and have copied info for them down in my data book and never saw a Brutus mentioned, but then he might send different seeds to many different persons.

Good thing I was looking in my data book since he sent seeds very late this year and written down were listed all new varieties to get out this Fall to my seed producers for next year.

Gee, my Dwarf Striped Rumpelstilskin was much lighter. More gold with red striping.

This is pretty much what mine looked like. Great not too sweet but very rich taste.

His seeds took nearly 2 months to get to me from Belarus this year. I saw his post date.

Brutus I grew last season from a gift of seeds from Marsha that she grew from Andrey’s seed.
One of the best red tomatoes I’ve ever grown

Nice list!


I'd love to see photos of your Dwarf Firebird Sweet and KBX when they 'come of age'!
