I view Darin's choice to break this agreement as dishonorable and disrespectful.

Dutch, I must say I find you bringing this up after all this time as rather disingenuous. Please refer to your original posting at the time at http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....66&postcount=7

Darin agrees in post #10 http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....8&postcount=10

Then in post #12 http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....4&postcount=12 Carolyn flips the names to her own interpretation, not your suggested one.

Then in post #13 http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....6&postcount=13 You reply using this sentence " Carolyn has the final say so on how I should label the seeds I produced for her."

It was clear from Carolyn's immediate flip of your named suggestion (and all subsequent postings) that she had no intention of using "Dotsons" as the primary name. When you posted that she has the final say of how YOU name Darin's seeds, then you are reneging on your implicit agreement to the suggestion.

Perhaps we all, Darin included, misunderstood what it was he was agreeing to. Was it a one sided agreement where only he had to abide by the terms? That's not an agreement, that's an edict! Do you honestly think he would have agreed to it if you had phrased it as " you have to call it this, but we can call it anything we want! Hard to see where that can be called a "gentleman's" agreement if it was intentionally meant to be an underhanded way to get him to agree.

Lol this tomato naming drama. You folks need to relax. If it was me I'd name it w/e I wanted. Anyway, I give another vote to Wes.

I certainly take offense to being called dishonorable and disrespectful, especially considering how honorable and respectful I have been to YOU both privately and publicly. It stops now.

My continuing wish is for folks to enjoy this great plant and fruit, using the name that I requested after discovering it in my garden. I certainly do appreciate those who have grown it and given feedback.

Now on to more reds (not pinks)....

Danko is good and so is Carolyn!

Charline, If you would like to try Indiana Red let me know and I will send you some.

Ami, How would you compare Indiana Red against Wes, and Russian 117? Taste? Production? Plant's durability as for as heat stress and fungus?

Thanks!

I would also like to try Wes- I have seen so many positive reviews of it. And perhaps I'm a bit biased, but my son is named Wes too

Thanks to all for the recommendations!

Thanks Vader. We may have to set up another hot dog lunch. Do you have room for a few DLH seedlings in your space this Spring? I'll trade you a pink for a red

I'm not Ami, but I've grown all three in the past. Based on my notes, I described Wes as sweet/mild, Indiana Red as having a mild but lingering flavor, and Russian 117 (my grow yearly choice of the three) as having a rich and well balanced tomato flavor.

I don't actually, but your welcome to Wes seeds. I'm mainly sticking to commercial hybrids and Lofthouse varieties this year.

[gssgarden]

Thank you guys! Will look into Russian 117 seeds!!

[Cole_Robbie]

I did not realize there was a red Russian 117. I will have to try it sometime. I love Orange Russian 117. I think it is the best bi-color heart. Taste is very different from Wes, though, much sweeter and not acidic at all. They make a good pair if you only grow two hearts. Both of them are good, just very different.

I don't think anyone has mentioned
Maria Amazilitei's Giant Red

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/w...%27s_Giant_Red
I've grown it the last two years and Maria A. started bearing in early mid-season for me and was very productive.
