FWIW, I accidentally found that Zolotoe Serdtse and Medovoe Serdtse were decent long keeping tomatoes -- though they're not listed anywhere as such that I know of. I picked them mature green and stored them in a cool area with cool plant lights over them and they ripened slowly over a period of months. I don't know if they behave that way consistently but might be worth a try if you're looking for long keepers.

JLJ, did Zolotoe Serdtse and Medovoe Serdtse retain a good taste when ripened in storage?

That was one of my ulterior motives in creating this thread. Maybe one of us will get lucky and have our lost tomato found.

JLJ, that is such a comforting thought! Now I don't have to feel so sad about all the lost ones! You made my day!
