Russian pink Heart
**** Tree, if this is what I'm calling Scott's Heart please let's leave this one out of your list. I just answered your PM and said that it's one of my new ones and I'd like to keep it private, with no seed sharing, until I can list it in the 2008 SSE Yearbook and perhaps make a seed offer here for all four of my new ones. No promises, but that's what I did this past Spring with my new ones as many of you know. Besides, I don't have a name for it and have to em Scott in Germany about it. Thanks ever so much. If it's a different Russian pink heart, and not the one I sent you seeds for that you were going to do seed production for me, then ignore what I just wrote. As I mentioned in the PM, not hearing back from you after several tries I sent the remaining seeds to bcday this past Spring and she's doing the seed production this summer. I do see quite a few varieties on your list that others haven't talked much about. Just the other day I listed Charlie's Green for someone. Is the Russian Heart you list the #117 one? And is it red or pink? Gald to see you back posting.

Ohhhh....at this point, I'm not offering anyone seeds of anything; except you, Carolyn. It's not been a banner year here; for tomatoes, so I doubt the seed production will be that great. I'll save seeds of the scarcer varieties....
The russian heart is from TGS...not really a heart...tending towards heart-shaped, but variable, LOL...somewhat above average taste...productive.. main crop, for me. I have a PL sport of this I usually grow, but wanted to finish the packet,,,,so all RL. Thanks, it's good to be back.
