It could be "Green Gage" from France if they turned from Light green to yellow.

Thank you for the tip. It looks like it could really be Green Gage. I was looking at that tomato in the garden, and in its green state it really looked like the Green Gage in Carolyn's book. I'll take a picture of them.

Another nice red heart (as seen on the bag). Hopefully it does better for you than it has for me. My production has been low, but the flavor is very good when it does give fruit.

Sorry,Heide asked me to send a photo of the bag from which the tomato with yellow tomatoes grew. He will try to find out who sent the seeds and what yellow variety it actually is.

Update- I don't believe the yellow tomato is Green Gage. That variety was not sent into the Carolyn Tribute. Those Indiana Red seeds came from WISunflower- Carol. She kindly sent larger packages of several varieties which I broke down so many could share. Vladimir, I think she is the best resource for this mystery. You are making me want to try to find that yellow one here next year!

Heide, there is no need to search further for the tomato's name. I will grow it even without knowing the name.

A little look back at last season. I received seeds from Heidi for the varieties that are listed in Carolyn Male's book. My plants did well.

Loving the looks of that Herman's Yellow!!! I do have seeds for Reif Red heart, but never grew out.

Thanks for sharing your pics!

Of the ones I grew last year, I liked Noire de Crimée and Amish Pasta the most. I will grow these again this year. Of the varieties listed in Carolyn's book, I have grown about twenty other varieties. I grew Stupice every year for more than fifty years, because until the 1990s there was no selection of varieties here. Of the others from Carolyn, I regularly grow Kukla's Portuguese Heart. It is one of the best red hearts for me.
