2012 Tatiana's tomatoes

[Tania]

Nice paste/sauce tomato.

[Tania]

It is producing lots of ripe fruit now.

I love this segregation line, I think it is petty close to be stable, I will grow it in 2013.

[Tania]

Another very good pink, not very common.

[Tania]

Sigh.... The year of offtypes! Here is another one - a PL and pink beefsteak that I received as 'Lil's Favorite', which is obviously not, as it should have been red and RL.

[Tania]

No clear heart shapes so far, but small seed locules and very few seeds are consistent with heart-shaped varieties.

[Tania]

Not the earliest of all the new dwarfs, but it is pretty!

[Tania]

New to me variety, I do not know much about it. Nice blemish free fruits. Taste test is pending.

[Tania]

Finally ripened, and most of the fruits at the same time.

[Tania]

Appears to be a stable mutation, it originally came from Sasha's Altai seeds that I received from Val McMurray in 2006. Plants produced fruits that were the same size and shape as Sasha's Altai, but different colors - green and brown, with stripes. This year growout confirms their stability, this is why I am guessing this may be a mutation.

This is another segregation line from Brandywine x Carbon cross created by Rob Gee in 2007. Pink and PL, meaty flesh and very few seeds, it is very lovely. All plants are consistent, so I think it is pretty close to be stable.

[Tania]

The det. dwarf plants are now producing lots of ripe fruit. They are small but with strong sweet taste, lovely!

[Tania]

the original cross was made by ob Gee in 2007. This is F3 generation, showing lots of segregation -

Plant No.1 - RL, small round red

Plant No.2 - RL, medium oblate pink, very meaty, excellent flavor (pic 1,2)

Plant No.3 - very large bi-color, similar to Lucky Cross, but with RL foliage (pic 3-6)

no ripe fruits from other 6 plants yet.

We are having too much...

[Tania]

Another wrong variety. It was supposed to be Green Bell Pepper, and for obvious reasons it is not. Very large fruits, some doubles up to 10 oz - I have never seen such a large stuffer! They do look like yellow bell peppers, inside and out.

All plants grown from these commercial seeds produced these fruits, so I am sure it was not a stray seed.

I am not a big fan of stuffing tomatoes, so these went into sauce right away - it was very easy to remove seeds and they are very dry!
