Default 2017 Tomato Porn

Pink From Syracuse...This is an inadvertent cross between Black From Tula and an unknown pollinator. I should have known something was up when the plant was one of the largest in my garden and was producing a multitude of flower buds. Black From Tula has a modest growth habit and a fairly modest fruitset. Large regular leaf plants produce a heavy fruitset of medium round fruits with the occasional beefsteak thrown in. There is some persistent green on the shoulders, much like Black From Tula and it has the same soft texture. Flavor has just a hint of smokiness but is overall sweeter. A nice fruit for topping a bagel but I generally prefer meatier tomatoes. Will be interesting to see what happens at F2.

Default Descendent of Kumato

So this is what I got when I grew out seeds from a Kumato for 6+ seasons. It is a nice plant. Not terribly unlike Kumato, a little more balanced, less of a sugar blast and of course the differences in color. F2 was identical to the F1 fruit I bought at gorcery store. I want to say F3 was largely pink beefsteaks. Perhaps I will go back and try and stabilize that strain....Anyway, goes to show that you can get good results from growing out hybrid seeds....

Default Pangasinan Native

Second year growing this variety. This is one of the mild and sweet varieties I have grown from the Philippines.

Default Filipino #2

From the USDA seed bank. I have used this variety in a breeding project for its dark color, flavor and resistance to diseases.

Default Tadjourah Market

Seeds from a tomato purchased in a small streetside market in Tadjourah, Djibouti. Almost definitely grown in Ethiopia as Djibouti has close to zero arable land and almost all produce is imported. Medium size paste tomato, fairly firm but not crunchy hard. Mild, sweet flesh. Small, stiff plants with RL foliage.

Default Calf Heart

A Serbian variety that I have been growing for a few years now. This one was a standout again this year. The later fruit in particular are fantastic. Sweet with a lot of rich tomato flavor. Fairly dry fruit so would be good for salsa and sauces but given how tasty they are fresh, I cooked very few of them. I will certainly send a few seeds for an SASE. This variety should be out there IMO. PM me if interested.

Philipino #2 is gorgeous. So Calf Heart is not the same as
Calf's Heart. Nice looking fruit and they do well in the NEast.

I have one last lonely sandwich sized fruit still hanging on the vine.
and a ton of smaller varieties. Hope this warm weather holds on.
