Yes, I've grown this one for a few years now, first coming from Carolyn, and I like it a lot.

I successfully grew the following from Carolyn's seed this summer:

Delano Green Ripe: Med/large GWR. Good texture and flavor. Not tangy like typical GWR tomatoes. Very prolific producer.

Pink Delice: Med-to-large pink heart. Good producer and flavor.

Sakharnyi Slon: Tanslation "Sugar Elephant." Strong producer of large (1.5lb+) beautiful pink tomatoes. Very meaty. Excellent texture. Delicious flavor.

Lost Marbles:
black cherry tomato with slightly green shoulders. Sweet and tomatoey. Heavy producer. Delicious flavor and lots of gel/seeds (but not in a bad way).
