I don’t wish to jack Steve’s excellent season review thread. I’m happy for the interest though! Check my true north or KARMA project threads or pm me

Thanks to all for sharing these reviews. This is the way I try to further my tomato education. Interesting that there were two reviews stating Jaune Flamme was tart. I grew it this year for the first time and there was never any tartness, it was somewhat sweet. I guess if I had picked it before it turned to a gold tint it may have been tart. I did notice it does not keep long. Two days and it had better be eaten. One of my wife's favorites.

Steve-thanks for the really informative review of your year. A question-how does your potato leaf indian stripe compare to GGWT in terms of taste, size and production? I grew two GGWT this year and it really rocked here in extreme Denver. Lithium Sunset was another surprise standout.

Hi Steve,
Was your Altaiskiy Oranzhevyi a wispy plant, like it had heart characteristics? Mine is this year and not performing to the information on it. I heard the real Altaiskiy Oranzhevyi was not a wispy plant. I have since order seeds from 2 other sources so I'll see how that goes next season. You are at least the 4 person raving about it! I want to see those results myself! Sue |

Jaune Flamme correction
It has become evident that I didn't wait long enough for Jaune Flamme to fully ripen. When it is a bright deep orange, it's excellent, and it will be returning.

ALSO, did your Jaune Flamee have darker insides, quite noticable? |

Mine has narrow regular leaves, and has been somewhat droopy, but I thought that was due to the heat and drought we had, and constant need for watering. Whatever it is, it's one of the best varieties I've tasted. My Jaune Flamme are just a bit darker in the center. Steve |

Appreciate the review! Helpful to make my own plans for next year.
As to regards to AO I too had regular plants with beefsteak fruit, grown last year, did not have this year. Will be back for next year. |

I know this is an older post but thanks for posting, Steve! I have been out of circulation on Tomatoville this summer/ fall and just now having some time to catch up. I love reading these reports! This summer we grew GGWT and now I want to try ISPL
