just so happens we had it for supper.
Buttery smooth sweet and rich, very few seeds. As good as in the past, midnight sun seems quite stable at F7.
I think it’s time to set her free and let some others have a go at growing it next year.

She's truly gorgeous. Was she from plant #1 or #2 seeds I sent? Looks to be plant 1.
I hope other folks love her as I did. Wonderful.

It really is a beauty, and I LOVED the taste when I tried one at Marsha's in January .

True Colours F7
Smaller indeterminate Potato leaf plants produce these glossy colourful big hearts with a green and pink bicolour interior. Small tight stem end and tiny blossom scar. The large one here is a double but the other is more typical 8-14 oz with a smooth true heart shape.
Luscious tangy sweetband meaty. Early midseason a bit later than midnight sun by about a week.
Excited for friends to try this one

I'm really looking forward to your next releases! True Colors looks to have Captain Lucky colors.

I don't know why, the pink and green reminds me of apples.

Polaris F6
Clear epi black slightly ribbed green shouldered and irregular beefsteaks on big potato leaf plants. I have been trying to make this a pretty tomato for six generations now but it wants to be this lumpy fella.
The trade off though for not being a pretty shape like it’s heart sisters midnight sun, true colours and Tundra, is it’s incredibly delicious rich flavour and beautiful blood red marbled interior. Even the aroma is delicious
I no longer worry about the shape of it 🙂
