Default My best tomatoes from Tomatoville

Four years ago, I became a member of Tomatville. Thanks to friends Tania, Tormato and many others, I could taste many interesting tomatoes. Yesterday I planted tomatoes and I realized that some of the tomatoes, which I got the seeds through Tomatville, really got to my heart. Which are they?

It seems to me you are big fan of heart shaped tomatoes, Vladimir.

I want you to try more Russian varieties in the next season. Gonna prepair a mix of good reliable varieties for you in autumn.

I haven't tried more than one or two on your list, but I now have seeds for many of them thanks to members here, and I hope to try them soon.

I never knew heart shaped tomatoes existed before I joined here. They do much better in my garden than many beefsteaks I've grown.

From this list I only grow Cherokee Purple so far. It is also one of my favorites for sure.

Great list Vladimir, I've grown all of them except one, and that's Puszsta Kolocz one unless it has another name.
I just checked and here's what I found

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Puszta_Kolosz

So from Cluj, and I was once sent a great yellow cherry from Cluj

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Cluj_Yellow_Cherry

I think you meant to say Ludmilla's Pink Heart

And I think your Alice one is probably this one

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Alice%27s_Egypt

which I've also grown.

I know you'll like many of them, and let me know if your Indian Stripe is RL or PL, it could be either one, just curious.

Ludmila´s Pink Heart
I only forgot to write that Pink

I got the seeds from Tormato in MMMM under the name of Alice. I still hold this name.

I have the original seed from Diane's Flower Seeds. They were always RL.
A nice day. Vladimír

My favorites I've received via Tomatoville have been these (all grown last year; I'm growing most of them again, this year, and I'm sure I'll grow the one exception again some time, as it was one of my favorites):

* Chapman
* Ron's Carbon Copy
* Medovaya Kaplya
* The tomato that was supposed to be Jim Dandy (tasted kind of like butterscotch)
* The tomato that was supposed to be Ambrosia Red
* George Detsikas Italian Red
* Monroe

I'm excited to see how they do on their second year.

Even though the Hearts are still green, they are beautiful.

Me too! I've been sitting on Kukla's Portuguese Heart and Kosovo seeds for several years now. Last year I tried to grow Orange Russian 117 but it fell early along with most other plants, so I need to try again now that I'm grafting.

This year along with Cuor Di Bue (the pink heart) and Russian 117, I have Orange Minsk Heart growing and while it is loading up with fruit, I'm still many weeks away from ripe fruit.
