Fantastic lists Everyone!
Kath, That's a huge list! What is Carbon Copy? I like that name Seek-No-Further Love Apple. It has A LOT to live up to. Marina, I don't think anyone will think you're loony around here! Eddy and BigBrownDogHouse, More huge lists! You're both growing quite a few on my future to grow lists. I sure hope we all have a warm sunny summer. PA Julia, That's a great little mix Remy

Since I don't think I'll be judged here...
Here is what I have under the lights for tomatoes. It's 194 varieties. I had 6 complete no shows out of 200 varieties started, but I'm hoping to recieve 6 additional new ones to fill in for them soon...

For more on Carbon Copy, see: http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...ht=Carbon+Copy I love the name, too, and the description sounds like it has great possibilities. Wouldn't it be great if it really is that good and the search will be over? kath |

Kath,
I hope I can enjoy from a lot of delicious tomatoes. You have a number of very promising names of your tomatoes. I hope they taste as good as I hope (and you too I think) All the others have also a lot of very interesting looking varieties. As everyone I'm very curious how they will look like and taste. And hopefully at the end of the year we can swap a lot of seeds. Eddy |

So many interesting varieties in everyones lists that I'd never heard of. Had to cut and paste myself a list to research what they all are...
Carbon Copy sounds wonderful. Carbon is one of my repeats every year. |

Mine has changed slightly from January. I'm trying some supposedly early new hybrids I haven't grown before to see how they are. I've tried most of the heirloom earlies. Still hoping to hold it to 18 as below and seeded the following varieties on 3/24:
Black Cherry 2 Bloody Butchers Biltmore * Big Beef * Brandywine Moskvich Tasti-Lee * 2 Red Siberians Jetsetter * 2 Ramapos Cherokee Purple 2 Granny's Hearts Moreton Hybrid Sarnowski's Polish Plum * New to me.

Descriptions from Tatiana's Tomatobase]
Olirose de St. Dominque - 75 days, French name for "Tomato Rose de Santo Domingo" (or pink tomato from) An old variety from the island. Also grown in Haiti. Seed was coll. by the ENSC in Arles, France coming from a collection of the late Norbert Parriera of France. Healthy plants bear copious clusters of rose/pink, oval/pear-shaped 6-8oz. fruits that drop when they feel they are ripe! The fruits themselves are sweet & juicy, mixed with some old-fashioned flavor. They keep well, due to their thicker wall and skin. Plate de Haiti - 75 Days, indet., regular leaf pink red apple shaped tomato that is very uniform and about 2 1/2-2" in size. In my experience this tomato is very disease resistant and prolific. In 1992 I and two others did a huge trade with Norbert and that's how the above two varieties got to the US. And if you do a search here at Tville you'll see a thread about them where I posted the description given to both of them in older YEarbooks after I listed them. And the descriptions differed based on who was offering them. For instance, Will Weaver asked me for Plate de Haiti and his description was different from others who reported by others, not in a major way but with shapes and taste. If I have time, which I don't have now, I'll try to find that thread or if you have time you can do the same. Norbert started posting here just a few months ago, but mainly in French and I think he may have stopped b'c it was so frustrating for him, even though folks here who knew French translated his posts. And so I ask in the above description of Olirose why Norbert was described as being the LATE Norbert. As I said, he was here just a few months ago and described what had happened to him after he traded the seeds with us, where he moved to in France, and why, and was psoting about what he was going to grow in his new gardens. So I'll ask Tania about that since you said you got the description from Tania. And she knows he was here at Tville as well. From that HUGE trade with him in 1992 we managed to get some outstanding v arieties that had not been known here in the US before, and as I said to him when he was here, how very much many of the ultimate recipients were with them/\\All of us in the trade listed the varieties in the SSE YEarbooks in 1993, 4, and I think 1995.

It appears my attribution of the descriptions is wrong, my apologies. The description of Olirose de St. Dominque is from Mandy's Greenhouses and the Plate de Haiti description is from Heritage Harvest Seed. Other than those obtained from seed banks, most of the other descriptions in my notes of each varieties are from Tania's site and I did not differentiate these two.
I will fix that above so as not to propagate any incorrect information. |

I hope to post pictures of these this season to see if they appear to be incorrect based on your reccolection of the originals. I know for many varieties sizes, shapes and taste are variable, but perhaps we can find out if something was crossed or mislabeled somewhere along the way.
