They look excellent Charley! Very interested in your opinion

In my top five things I hate: a big ol core so here’s hoping

I need to buy some of your Dwarf Seeds or Plants, because Selling my only Dwarf "Red Robin Plants, is a "Must Have" for my Customers. I never Thought My Historical Red Robins would never be a main Crop, to the point I had to grow a second Crop.

Did you help Dr, Carolyn develop "Sweet Scarlet"? If so, Can I sell the Plants as a Stable Hybrids?

Hi Joyce.
The dwarfs I show are my own independent breeding projects.
I think you refer to the “dwarf project” dwarfs of Craig Lehoulier and Patrina Nuske Small
I think there is a lot of good information regarding those dwarfs on the Victory seeds website
Mine are unrelated to those.

I always got Gary Ibsen at TomatoFest and and Craig Lehoullier mixed-up. I guess Dr, Carolyn loved them both, Amen!! I never told them of all my Legal Deadlines that demanded all my time suffering from Dyslexia, fighting for my family in Legal matters up to the U S Supreme Court many times by myself, while trying to research my Family Farming Tree Food and farming History, that started here where I live on the same property my Great Grandfather worked on. I have so much joy working in his footsteps, with the power to forgive everyday because it feel good. I pray Graig Forgives me too for giving him mixed up., too. But I see his is very busy, with much information on his website. But hopefully he will come back here one day. I will always trust both Gary & Craig.

I like your Wizard of Oz theme names! They all look like nice sized tomatoes, looking forward to trying them when they are available!

Wow! Those are gorgeous! The names are great, too.

What flavor profile did you end up with for them? Sweet? Tart? Acidic? Fruity? Mild? Etc.?
