You're going to get True Blue Bicolore Heart, with all your hard work.
My "Favorite Vacation Heirloom Tomatoes" fro Farmer Shawn is a beautiful heart shape; but not color yet.
You may wish to try some of my hearts sometime Joyce, there are four stable ones released. Midnight sun, tundra, true colours and Taiga
All quite different and all on potato leaf plants

Karen you never cease to amaze me! I’m cutting back and this year I planned on growing Taiga and then didn’t sadly. But it’s a go for next year.

I love watching you create so many gorgeous tomato varieties. Looking forward to seeing what you are offering for next year. In the meantime I’m still waiting for this year’s grow outs to start ripening.

Thanks Sharon, I hope you’ll try it next year. You will find it earns its space in the garden

Here are some of the first ripening anthos.
Looking for quality fruit with quality interior structure and flavour on healthy vigorous plants.
There is an album called “ the blue album” on northerngardenercanada Facebook page if interested in more photos.

Not just a pretty tomato, it passes my “ toast test” with flying colours
This is the yellow bicolour heart from the second photo above.

Plants are looking healthy. Some fruit starting to ripen. There is an album on Northern Gardener and also lots of photos on my Instagram if interested. Here are a few. That orange bicolour is an exciting f2 find.
There is a video of slicing it posted on ig. I’ll post still photo below

What a great work you are doing, Karen! This year, I fell in love with Midnight Sun which has arrived on my "perpetual" list. If only one of your anthos is as excellent as M.S., it would be great! A work of art AND overwhelming taste - is there anything more?

Thank you Clara, I’m happy you like midnight sun!

Karen, your tomatoes are exquisite. You have the best pictures of cut tomatoes I have ever seen. Off to check out your FB page.

BTW - do you have/use irrigation on this growout?

Thank you!
I hand water with a hose about twice a week. Hasn’t rained much since June

Best of the F2 heart selections. Rather pleased with the appearance and flavour of this one. Very large and vigorous potato leaf plant
