'Fireworks'

[frankcar1965]

I really like this one and I'm growing it again this year. On Tatiana's she shows it as a pointed heart shape but that is not the one I grow from TS, it is just a regular tomato shape and all the other descriptions are like that too. What's up with that? Are there different ones named 'Fireworks'?

The one I know is small to medium early red. Not heart shaped. It is possible there is more than one variety with the same name.

And mine were mostly med with a few large, and they seemed pretty healthy.

I ordered-
Serdtse Ashabada
Arbuznyi
Bijskiy Rozan
Ljubitelskiy Rozovyi
They have shipped but we'll see how quick they get here whether or not I plant them this year. I have already planted on Monday and already have some germination. It's still pretty early so there may be time, although I do not need anymore in my small patch. I always overdo it.

Here's one that's 8-12 oz. called Fireworks. https://www.totallytomato.com/P/00258/Fireworks+Tomato

Another one that's 6-8 oz. http://www.tomatogrowers.com/FIREWOR...ductinfo/6002/

None of the sites showed the same shape as Tania's, but the two sites I just posted look different from each other too.

I was thinking there was a hybrid named Fireworks, but I didn't find one.

I thought it was a hybrid at first too until I looked. Mine is from TGS but the TT one seems pretty similar. It may have been a coincidence but they were the only ones that did not get spider mites, the only ones, I was really surprised. And they tasted good too, pretty meaty but juicy, probably the best performing heirloom I have grown.

I see you have already sowed seed. When are you going to plant out this year in NW Lousiana? I'm in NW Lousiaina also, my normal plant out is around Easter. Easter is late this year and forecast predict a dry and warm winter.

Bob, I have so far-
BIG BEEF
AZOYCHKA
CHAMPION II
SUPER SIOUX
PINK BERKELEY TIE-DIE-
KOSOVO- freebie
a big pink from Turkey and Bulgaria from leftover seeds rather late but nice
Peppers too
I like to plant out around April 1 or maybe earlier if the weather is warmer, but no later, last year I did not plant seeds until the last of Jan and since there was no winter I could have easily planted at the first of March I could kick myself. I'm using cheap leds from ebay and they put out the light maybe too much I will have to see.

I forgot the Sungolds that I grow up a fence and cattle panel, they are really my favorite. My plot is tiny so I really can only have a couple of most but more of things like Fireworks and PBTD. Then I shove the peppers together at one side.

I grew it several years ago, but cannot remember where I got my seed from. It greatly resembled the one in the link from TGS. I thought it was pretty decent taste wise, it was fairly early, produced good too.
