Lots to share today.
Here is the Karma Pink in my smartpot. This one is really healthy and producing lots of fruit and trusses: Here is the largest fruit on this plant. These are big cherries! Here is the Karma Pink planted in my EB. This one has struggled some. The trusses on the EB plant are huge and clustered together closely . The biggest cherry on this plant: However, this has me concerned. I am struggling with nutrient deficiencies, but I have not seen this before. It is primarily on the underside of the leaves. Any ideas? |

Beautiful pink tomatoes with an average weight of 31 g. The taste is very good, the one I like. I expected Karma Pink to be sweeter. But all tomatoes (slicers Stupice, Tamina, Matina, ..) this year they seem to have less sugar. I do not know why. Maybe it's a quick ripening. We have unprecedented heat and drought since May. Tomatoes are watering regularly, but it's not enough. The well dried up, the rain is not in sight.

I also think that at lower temperatures the sweetness will be bigger. Meanwhile, we have 26-31 ° C in the full two months and over 15 ° C at night, only one week in June was cooling. These temperatures are 5 ° C higher than normal and are not good for Czech tomatoes as well. The only tomatoes that are good for me today are Spanish steaks. Probably because in our country the weather like in Spain.

Vladimir, thank you for posting these great pictures! It’s is unusually hot in many places here as well, it has been a year of extremes.
I am glad that even with the reduced sweetness you still liked them and I hope once it cools a bit the flavour will show it’s full potential for you. Thank you for posting and thank you for giving it space in your garden. Karen |

Potato leaf compact indeterminate Bicolour green and pink large cherry sized slightly flattened miniature beefsteak shaped fruit. Delicious taste, like captain lucky only sweeter. Truly unique. KO |

I did not have a chance to take a photo of the first truss of ripen KARMA Pink. My friends were the first testers yesterday. Tomatoes disappeared before I took a photo. Everybody liked it very much. KP is very sweet and really tasty cherry.

The KARMA Miracle looks (and sounds!) awesome.
My KARMA Pinks are getting really plump, and today I have a little blush! Waiting patiently for my first taste. Will have to fix my browser so I can post pictures again when this sweetheart is ripe. KP is loving the summer weather and I let her keep some extra suckers that she snuck out overnight, so more trusses are setting.... |

It seems like the ones with the green gel are the best tasting to me. Perfecto!

I just planted saved seeds from the Karma Pinks I received earlier in the year. Looking forward to growing these out again in the fall, I'll give an update as they progress.

I have picked 2.8 pounds from KARMA pink in container already and it is only July 23. Definitely productive tomato.
The one in ground has to fight for the space. It is squished between Brandywine Sudduth and Biyskaya Rosa. Next year I will definitely plan better and give it more space. Actually, I think it is better off to be grown in container. Being so early and having this complex beefsteak kind of taste, it is great substitute for my early beefsteaks. And, I am fermenting few different kinds of small tomatoes (cherries and Blush/Fuego Verde/Candy Sweet Icicle), will let you know how KARMA taste fermented.
