Gerardo, we have a Tomatoville friend/member who would really like some Copper River seeds for next year. Not me, even though I'll be adding them to my MMMM wish list.

Nice pics. You probably already know, but Huge Lemon Oxheart is huge, and it is lemon, but it is not an oxheart.

I have it as Gigant Limonnij, seeds that Clara got from that once fabulous place in Estonia. my notes say RL,ind,bright yellow,meaty, from Clara translating what was there and right now I don't even know if seeds were produced.I see one person who was sent the seeds,but when I started sourcing seeds from many places,he opted out saying he only wanted to do seed production for the family heirlooms.

That was his choice and I respected it,I miss him very much since for many years he was a wonderful seed producer and a really great guy who took pictures of everything,great sense of humor,etc..

Carolyn,saying she doesn't know,right now,if it's an oxheart or not.I would have assumed that would have been in the Estonian description,but it wasn't. Besides,Cole Robbie has grown it.

I do know how that goes.

Gerardo,please keep us posted on this one but right now they look more beefsteaky,rather than hearty,to me at least.

Gerardo,what was the source of your seeds that indicated a heart?Ever curious,as you know.

Carolyn

I was curious of the "white" description.

That sucker does look big on the cutting board.

Sladkij Ponchik will be put to the test.

Kazachka and Zolotoy Zapas transplanted into 5 gal containers.

1 each of Lucky/Sunrise/Pink/Purple sharing a 25 gal rootpot (rp),
Multiple Zamorano in two 25 gal rp.
3 Elgin Pink in a 25 gal rp.

Containers with mix ready for many more.

Sowed a 72 cell with some of the winter warriors.

I love Elgin Pink. It has consistently good taste, no matter the weather in my garden. Production is good too. Hope it does well for you.

Music to my ears, with yours and Marsha's endorsement I've no doubt it'll be tasty.
