Oh wow Lee, they look just great

won’t be long by for the KARMAs, we have typically been getting first ripe at about 110 days from sowing seed for the KARMAs

Hi all;

My season is well behind most people's but I do have sme good results so far from my efforts. If I can get it to work the 3 pics that should be attached are Karma Pink, Karma Purple MF and Tiaga. All were started April 9th when they were soaked over night and then planted the next day. I had 100% germination. These pics are from 5 minutes ago so are how my plants look 19 days after initial soaking.
Thanks; Pete

Those look perfect, and I think they are growing rapidly. So glad to hear of your success in germination too. Thank you so much for this post.

Awesome Pete, not behind at all, ahead in Canada

I hope you love them and share seeds with friends on your lovely island

Marsha, seems like nearly universal great germination. Thank you for your awesome seed saving skills!

It's humbling.

Last week, we had a few posts about KARMA Purple Multiflora and the multifloral characteristics of it. I now have a single truss with 41 tiny fruit, full blooms, or bloomlets (the tiny things that become full blooms....I don't know what they are officially called) on it. That's awesome!

That's cool about your Karma Purple MF cherry! It does confirm that I don't have the multiflora type at all but instead the regular Karma Purple cherry. Mine has 3 blooms on the spray and both plants are the same. I'm looking forward to this one anyhow and will get the mf seeds next year!

KarenO · May 2, 2019

Hmm even the regular KARMA purple should have more than 3...
it’s very early, see what subsequent blooming is like I think.

Hi all.
Yesterday I did the transplant to my final garden of KARMA pink, I show my first set of flowers, in total 5 flowers and above forming a set of four flowers. Desiring to try these delicious tomatoes again.

KarenO · May 6, 2019

You will have some early ones Nico

KARMA Purple Multiflora and KARMA Peach, both doing very well, the Purple MF was very small and slow to start, but is catching up nicely. KARMA Peach has big flowers.

KarenO · May 14, 2019

Your plants are looking great

I hope you enjoy them!

I think I was out of mf seeds when I gave you them. I know that happened with a few folks, because they were so highly requested. I thought I would have written that on the pack though, or otherwise indicated it, do you see any writing from me on that seed pack?
In any event, you should see a spray of way more than 3. Actually though, KARMA Pink often starts out with the first spray being a smaller amount too, but then it gets to be 7 or 8 thereafter.

BadKelpie, really nice! A joy for me to see them growing so well in other folks gardens.

KARMA Peach and Purple MF went into the ground today! They are also shown by BW Sudduth, just showing those BIG potato leaves.
