Granny Cantrell's German Red - Does your seed produce a red?
My seed was directly from Gary Millwood, who's seed was directly from Lettie. It always grew as a pink, for me.

Re: HELP: Any MUST GROW tomatoes suggestions
I personally like thick walled tomatoes with few seeds. I Liked Goat bag, Aunt Swarlo's plum and Monkey ass. They are all thick with few seeds and still have a lot of juicey texture. They are all good in sauces and on a salad or samdwich.

Dark Tiger was half-way decent in a year where my garden had the best tasting tomatoes in all my years of gardening. Perhaps down the road, there will be something better tasting than what we have now.
The good news, here, is that Captain Hook's hands are healed, and can set the Orca on a true course. I can type!
Wait until Karen hears about Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg Heart. She'll have to get a whole new filing system just for the width of the label on the pack of seeds.
She'll scour the earth to find a vendor, but will come up empty. For the variety does not YET exist. But, it hopefully is on its way, with several selections of crosses that I have as candidates. The name is derived from a lake not very far from me, the English name being Lake Webster. Mischka (of Tomatoville fame) lives in the town of Webster. Without his generosity of starting T'ville , I don't know what we would have had for a tomato growing community for the past decade, or more.
The translation of C. Heart (like I'm going to spell it again, and wonder if I can injure a hand by typing?) is "I fish on my side, you fish on your side, nobody fishes in the middle."
There is one word that I know of that is longer, but I've never been to New Zealand, and I'm not into swallowing any mountains.
