I've never had a Carbon, but from the pictures I would love to grow that one to taste. I also love the carbon copy name, it is perfect.

Keep us posted as to the outcome. Hoping for the best for you.

One of my beautiful strongly growing Carbon Copys had to be pulled up in a quick hurry this AM. Spotted wilt virus
I hate thrips.

I just sowed 12 Carbon Copy seeds last night. It is really too early but couldnt wait. I will sow the remainder of my seeds the week after Christmas.I am going to use a homemade hotbed after they get true leaves. Last Spring I planted out on February 18th and had the best year ever. I will also have extra backups to replace any casualties along the way.
Best to all who are growing the Carbon Copy, I hope you all will be as impressed as I am.

I think I am going to root some of the suckers from the survivor remaining.

Are Carbon and Carbon Copy the same tomato?

Exact carbon copies of each other.

good one.

PS. Sorry for the bad joke Doug9345. Carbon copy is actually a cherry sized version of carbon. Here is the thread that explains it.

Carbon Copy

PPS. If that thread link looks similar to this thread. Be assured it is a different thread, just a carbon copy of this one.
