All those Tomatoes are mind boggling "Monstas" "

an early /compact/container /large fruit best bet for a hobbyist of dubious discipline.?....lol

I know it's just a working name - "Peachy Keen" - from your Karma Apricot line but one of the vendors at Heritage Seed Market already has one for sale by that name. I thought you might not be aware of it.

Yeah I now know there is a totally different and Unrelated new tomato called peachy keen.
It’s not KARMA peach

I was just calling my new seg that as a working name temporarily.
The larger bicolour yellow KARMA is officially called KARMA peach.
Seems stable. Will see what it does for Marsha this season

Is Peachy Keen your chosen name, or did they take it upon themselves to name it?

All our KARMA segregants are always named KARMA, (all capitals)followed by the specific one word segregant name.
KARMA Apricot
KARMA Miracle
KARMA Peach
KARMA Pink
KARMA Purple
KARMA Purple Multiflora

When it first appeared as a surprise seg in the F5 of KARMA Apricot I was just calling it peachy keen here to differentiate it from Apricot.
Since it appears stable and is similar but larger than KARMA Apricot we now call it KARMA peach, it’s official name

Karen, which of the KARMA are the sweetest? My son loves the sweet with a bit tartness types.

btw KARMA pink is perfect for fermenting/pickling. Both the taste and the size are just what is needed. Lovely. Thank you. Of cause they are great for many other things to do with them.

Hello
My personal favourites, if I had to choose based on flavour alone,
Are the Miracle and the purple multiflora.
As to the sweetest, I would say Apricot.
I hope over time you can try all of them and see which you and your son like the best. They are all really good but each is different.
So happy you enjoyed the pink and found it worked well for your pickle recipe! Truthfully I have never tried pickling tomatoes but a jar of multicoloured KARMA tomatoes sounds interesting!
Please watch for Marsha’s offer later on in The winter, she is planning on offering all of them this year

Thank you, Karen, I am looking forward to it. So exciting.
