Thank you. It's so much fun, and I can't even describe how delicious they are, every single one!

Very excited to hear your opinions on some of the newer ones Marsha.

Is the Everetts Rusty Heart on this list the "real" one or is it the Gail X if I recall you grew last time? Forgive me if I got the facts all wrong about the Gail X, I might've read too many posts and got them mixed up. I grew ERH this year, but most were round, sort of squat almost, and looked very different from online pics of ERH, which were pointy and really rusty colored inside. However, whatever it is that I got from you, is my new must-grow tomato from now on! It is the most prolific tomato ever, and I am growing 1 each in 2 different gardens and both are pumping out toms like Wow! The 3rd one is in a container and not doing as well, it is a large plant so it needs room for sure. At first, the flavor was like Meh, watery and bland. I stopped watering it and now they are so sweet and delicious. Very vigorous and resistant to spider mites, compared to other tomatoes that bit the dust around it. Thanks Marsha!
Thanks! Yes last year I grew both the ERO, as I am growing again, and the Gail X ERO, which is now named. Its called Green Gables. This year I am growing only the EROxheart, a fantastic tomato I fell in love with last year.

Last year I grew it for the seed replenishment. I do love it, but other large pinks are even better.

I can't believe you are growing that many in containers especially in Florida. I used to grow lists like that for a few years but it was just too much sugar for a dime trying to keep up with all those varieties and now I'm too old to even think about tackling that many different varieties in one season. For the past few years I am just whittling down my list to keep it at a manageable level. I really do like the crazy names on some of those. Good luck.

I was just wondering when we would see your list earlier today. Voila. I was surprised to see no Rev Michael Keyes because I was so very impressed with it. I got my seeds from your seed offer and it is in my permanent line up.

Since I am on my third batch of tomato juice in the last 2 weeks (when I was supposedly on vacation), planting 100 tomatoes doesn't sound too great to me right now. When I see your pictures later in the year when I am in a tomato desert, I will be oh so jealous. Hope you have a great season.

It was a lot last year because they finally produced up to potential. I am probably a little nuts.

RMK is wonderful, but I only wanted 1 multiflora this year, so I stuck with Rebel Alliance. I guess I have to do a photo thread again this year, right?
