I love these posts Marsha! It is great to see more pictures of varieties especially when most of us are in the middle of winter. (I know it is winter in Florida.....but you know what I'm saying!)

I do know what you are saying. Thank you for the nice compliment.
I was just out in the garden cutting away diseased dried leaves, and it's a heartbreak this year. About 1/4 of my plants are alreay dead, that usually doesn't happen until late March.
On the bright side, there will be a seed offer, but I don't think it will be for as long as last year's, because the plants wont be continuing to make new fruit, so I will run out faster.

Just remember the gardeners' motto, Marsha, "there's always next year!"
Really some great varieties and some spectacular fruits in spite of the heat
and excessive rain! Thanks for posting your photos!

Of course there are other red hearts I also love, I'm a heart person at heart, but this one would be in my top 2 or three and a blunt heart at that,not a pointy one.

OK, so I forgot to link to Tania's page for it.

The one and only! Mishapen with all this weather, taste is still wonderful. And yes, saving seeds!
