Default Tomato Medley

A colorful gift that Sherry gave me a couple of days ago. It's nice to have friends who grow such beautiful tomatoes. Thanks Sherry!

Very pretty! And so thoughtful to include the labels for seed saving! I bet they were delicious!

It's Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (I have to look up the spelling each and every time!) which means Malachite Box.

EDIT: I pasted in the name to avoid the pain of typing it, and I see I didn't get all the fonts matched up! Oops!

Malakhitovaya Shkatulka. Thanks for the quick reply. It looks gorgeous, delicious, scrumptious. How does it taste?

I think it's pretty tasty and it's by far the best performer of any green-when-ripe I've ever tried to grow. It is a little mild in flavor though ... not a sharp tomato taste.

I'll let Sue give her opinion...

Very nice gift!

I agree with Sherry about Malakhitovaya Shkatulka.
