Radishrain

I grew Silvery Fir Tree in 2017. It had reasonably early fruit, and was more sour than most tomatoes. I decided to give it another try, this year. The foliage looks feathery. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

I've had seeds available to grow the Rutgers tomato for years. I've finally decided it's time. I'm growing a plant, this year. I've heard it's similar to Marion (and I love Marion). I got the seeds from the Dollar Tree (American Seed, packed for 2019; yes, I got new seeds, since the other ones I had available as early as 2014 were a relative's).

Note that the original Rutgers is indeterminate. I believe mine is determinate or semi-determinate, but I am interested in the original.

Here's my Rosella tomato plant, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020. These seeds came from Marsha (ginger2778) of TomatoJunction in 2020. I think it's her favorite cherry tomato.

I've been wanting to try Riesentraube since I heard it had larger fruits than Yellow Riesentraube (I grew Yellow Riesentraube in 2016). Here's the Riesentraube tomato plant that I'm growing, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

This thread is for the Pink Oxheart tomato.

I'm growing Pink or Red Oxheart tomato seeds, this year. I was told they were Pink Oxheart, initially, but the label said Red Oxheart, and the fruits were also red, I was told (we shall see). This variety came highly recommended by Mumsey of the Organic Gardening Community.

Here's my plant, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

Note: This particular thread is a departure from the norm, in that it's just about my growout (not about the variety as a whole).

This spring, I planted Crimson Cushion tomato seeds, which started to grow, but they froze. Later, when I thought no more seeds were going to sprout (I only planted six), I planted some Red Beefsteak tomato seeds in the same container (so, that's probably what these are). I was out of Crimson Cushion tomato seeds, and I figured Red Beefsteak might be similar. The Red Beefsteak tomato seeds came from Gardenboy of TomatoJunction, in 2020.

Here is the plant that I'm growing this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

Here's my Queen of the Night tomato plant that I'm growing, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020. Note that the same rock fell on this plant and squashed it twice. The rock was holding up the excess black plastic. I moved it further away after that. The plant survived both times, of course. Although you may not be able to tell from the picture, there was visible anthocyanin on the foliage at the time I took the picture.

The Purple Calabash tomato is quite controversial on the website called TomatoJunction (and it was at Tomatoville, if it's not still). A lot of people don't like the flavor at all, but some love it. I decided I might like it, since it's supposed to be prolific and acidic. So, this year, I planted two cells of plants (each from a different source, in case one is cross-pollinated).

My plants are vigorous, so far.

Here are my plants, so far, this year. These pictures were taken on 27 May 2020.

Here's the plant I have from an unknown source (trade or gift), although it's probably from either Tormato of Tomatoville, or else from my friend in California (probably the latter):


Here's the plant I have from Heirloomtomaguy of Tomatoville:
