My best tomatoes from Tomatoville

[MrBig46]

Since 2017, I have hosted the "My best tomatoes from Tomatoville" thread on Tomatoville. After an unsuccessful year 2021 for me, I decided to renew this thread and I want to put all the posts on this forum as well.
I will here present all the indeterminate varieties that have anything to do with Carolyn Male (not just the ones listed in her great book) that I am growing this year. Jako první jsem vybral odrůdu Herman´s Yellow z knihy "100 Heirloom tomatoes for the American Garden". This not so often cultivated variety surprised me with its taste, which was quite distinctive (compared to other large orange and yellow tomatoes), fleshy flesh, slightly acidic and at the same time sufficiently sweet, almost without seeds.

Pretty meaty lookin' tomato with a mighty small seed cavity, there.

FWIW, I married a gal of Czech heritage (Loduha) whose Grandfather came over in the early 20th century and settled in Washington County/Jackson, WI. Farm is still in the family.

It looks like a very nice oxheart. How productive is it?

[AKgardener]

Looks similar to Verna orange.

Thank you Vladimir for sharing these great photos and your experience with tomatoes.

So we are almost compatriots ?

The two tomatoes grew from the first inflorescence. I harvested them ten days ago. I don't remember what the plant and other inflorescences look like, but due to the hot weather (30 - 35 °C) in the shade, I don't expect another big harvest. I shade the tomato plants and water them regularly (nature also helps me - it rains heavily every week at least one day). Later I will let you know what Herman's Yellow looks like.

@MrBig46; "So we are almost compatriots ?"

Close enough, Pilgrim!

CHEROKEE PURPLE
For the second year I am growing Cherokee Purple and Cherokee Jumbo (seeds from Darrell Jones- Fusion Power) side by side. I have a problem with the Cherokee Purple with its fertility. This year, just like last year, I grew a relatively small plant, with four nice tomatoes on it, but the growth of the plant has stopped and there probably won't be any more tomatoes. Cherokee Jumbo, on the other hand, is a massive plant currently with four tiers of fruit. The taste and size of the fruits are identical. If I grow these in the future, it will probably be Jumbo, even if it is not a true Heirloom.

I have not heard of Cherokee Jumbo before. I will have to look into that. It looks like a very nice tomato and I'm glad that it's working out for you.

Looks absolutely delicious

I received a bag of red tomato seeds in the "Carolyn Male's Favorite Tomatoes" sale. I sowed two seeds from which I planted one plant. To my surprise, the fruits were yellow. I think all the seeds will be from this yellow variety, which reminds me of a Yellow Plum in shape and size. The taste is excellent and therefore I would like to grow this variety in the future. I am interested in whether all the seeds in that bag are really from this yellow variety and what is the name of the variety. I am glad that the yellow tomatoes were so tasty for me and the harvest is also very good

It looks very nice and I'm glad that you enjoy it. You should ask @HL2601 who sent it in so that you might find out what variety it is.

Hi Vladimir, what's Cherokee Jumbo like (the ancestry)? never heard of it before...

[MrBig46]

I got one tip on Tomatoville (from Mrs Justice) that it might be Green Gage. Everything looks like it could really be this tomato. I am sending a photo of the seed bag for Heide, maybe it will help her find who sent the seeds. I don't mind at all that it was a yellow tomato. I really like it, it's just a happy coincidence.

If I hadn't become a member of Tomatoville back then in 2013, I wouldn't even be growing those beautiful Spanish tomatoes today.
In 2014, on December 23rd, I received a postal envelope containing the seeds of forty-five varieties of Spanish tomatoes. It was the best Christmas present I got that year. Baikal sent me the seeds from Mallorca and I am still grateful to him. I have tried all the varieties and to this day I grow the varieties that I liked the most and are something extraordinary and I try to maintain their authenticity. This year I grew, among others, the ones in the photos. I had and still have a very good harvest, but I have not succeeded with the seed production. I had health problems in the spring, so I didn't have time to put any inflorescences in bags, and in July and August it was already so hot (over 30°C) that all the flowers dried up without being pollinated, even in the shade.
