So far Elgin Pink , Jazz and Rebel Yell are this years favorite. And thanks to Marsha and all others generous enough to offer seeds! I am looking forward to a shot at the Lebanese heart as soon as someone offers, I am all in!

wow, so glad I found this thread.
I am initially from Lebanon and was very excited to grow Omar Lebanese this summer as a wonderful reminder of the tomatoes of my childhood. However, the plant that I have is producing heart shaped tomatoes. I kept thinking they will look different once they are ripe however that never happened. We ate the first 2 ripe tomatoes last week, they tasted like the large tomatoes that I was used to, but they didn't look the same. Should I assume that I have this variation? and save seeds accordingly? Now, to answer the initial request, this year, so far, the biggest pleasant surprise has been Champagne Cherry. I am addicted to them and have already saved seeds. Of course, we have only been getting cherry tomatoes since our season is very late this year in Portland, I am sure there will be many more. Also, last night, I tried the first Frosted Green Doctors and it was fantastic, definitely on the list to grow again. Rita |

You've been singing praises for Fried Green on a couple of occasions so I have to try it, even though I've never had a fried green tomato before. From Park seeds.
I will be looking for you here if it does not work out ! Quote:

So no need to save seeds, since what you grew was the original Omar's Lebanese and there are plenty of the heart form seeds, perhaps even Darin could send you some or I could as well.. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Omar%27s_Lebanese I'd be delighted if you would please e-mail me at cmale@aol.com And I can bring you up to date with others from Lebanon that I'm now in contact with. Thanks, Carolyn

Hi Rita, you can also check out this thread about your heart shaped one.
http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...ght=Dotson%27s Wondering if your seed source was Totally Tomatoes, where Darin Dotson got his? |

Some comments.
Of course I was glad to see that Rita was originally from Lebanon, and I thought she might like to know some others from Lebanon,which is why I gave her my em addy. How many times here have we seen someone say they live only an hour away from someone else,let's get together.Or someone say I used to live there,is the restaurant on 4th and 16th street still going. So Rita, that's why I gave you my em address and what did I say?I said I was sure that Darin would send you some seeds for the heart one,or words to that effect as you can see by going back and rereading what I said.. As for what you see with Tania's link, that's not what it orginally was. Since it was Dutch who opted to growout what Darin sent seeds to me and marsha,he said possibly a heart,and yes,it turned out to be just that. But there were some claims made in the original Tania one that weren 't correct ,so Dutch,who had sent about 400 seeds to Darin who turned around and made a seed offer never saying that they were Dutch's . Dutch asked Tania's permission to make some changes and she said yes,but there is still one item there that is not correct. OK Marsha,you sent just one of three contentious threads about this whole issue, should I now link to the other two which are still in my faves? I don't think Rita deserves all of this,IMO. And since I just met Rita obviously I did not send her any seeds of anything and I say this since this possibility was alluded to above,without naming names.. Now some of you I hope remember IMP,Suzy, who lives in TX.She was the one where there was a very long thread here when her DH ROB developed cancer, she had to quit her job to drive him back and forth to the hospital for cancer treatments,he continued to go downhill,I hope you remember that. She left get groceries,came home,went up the stairs to check on Rob,he looked at her said he loved her and shot himself in the head. George in CO offered to take money donations to help her out. What she wrote to me yesterday, was directed at Tville and all the arguing and fighting and back stabbing that goes on here now, and I agree with her in that regard. And it hasn't always been that way, speaking as one who was here back on day one when TV opened in jan of 2006 and already found herself as a global Mod. And I agree with her and plan to send it to just a few here who ought to know about it,that is M and the Global Mods. Carolyn, who used to enjoy coming here every day,actually several times a day,but not anymore since she never knows what really bad stuff she'll find and have to deal with. It shouldn't be this way, it wasn't for many years after TV opened, but it is now, sadly. Is there a good reason why we can't just respect what someone says even if we don't agree with what was said without fighting and all of that? I think there is but it means everyone just getting along with others?Is that possible?

Wow, that sounds like a controversial tomato, did not see this coming! Sorry for stirring that pot, was never my intent, I just love tomatoes!
Carolyn, thanks for the your sweet words, I will send you an email. I am not sure right now where I got the seeds since I am at work, will check my records once I get home, but I am 90% confident that I got a small envelope from a local seed exchange! Rita |

It's one thing to not agree on the name a tomato should be called. It's another thing to continue to say untrue things that hurt the reputation of an outstanding contributing member of this community. I ask you again, specifically, list what untrue information was given to Tania? And Darin has many, many times told everyone he mailed seeds to that they came from Dutch.
