might want to check out ...... the history is there for Angel Heart

https://bountyhunterseeds.com/product/a ... -tomato-2/

I don't know if the full history will ever be known.

I grew Persimmon one year, being true to type, and I saved seeds. The saved seed produced an indeterminate RL pink heart, with an overabundance of very long weeping branches. I picked about 40 ripe fruit, and there were about another 40+ green ones that were lost when the 1st expected killing frost happened. I've heard that a cross of a beefsteak producing a 1st generation heart is genetically impossible.

The following year produced both pink and gold/orange hearts. Angel Heart was one of them, distinguished by many of the hearts having "innie" belly button blossom ends, a long tapered tomato ending with an indentation. I've never seen another tomato that consistently produces such a heart shape. The plants had a normal number and length of branches.

Medusa also came out of the saved seed of the pink heart.

The various lettuce, arugula, frisée, spinach are firing on all cylinders now. Been handing out lettuce to the neighbors and eating all we can.

One particular bright spot this winter garden has been lettuce. Lettuce always surprises me on how cold hardy it is. Anyway, I’ve been supplying my mom, an almost daily salad eater, with ample lettuce and arugula and shared some with the kids and friends and yet there’s always more. Washed fresh Lettuce keeps well in the fridge in a partially open zip bag, this one is the two gallon size, with a couple of paper towels at the bottom to soak up any excess water. I like to pick the lettuce in the morning with the dew on it.

Lettuce still coming. I think this is Landis Winter and Merlot. Plus, the wild type of arugula.
