Gunnar, did you grow any of Kozulas crosses to hearts? I noticed they weren't offered. Also, perhaps you could have her produce more of the green when ripe stuff, as that was the one everyone wanted, and of course the dark colored one with the stripes. She didn't breed new hearts, which were fiercely criticised by some members, who had bad luck with them, but I specifically requested #142. Albenga x Kosovo F1, 168. Bawole Serce from market x Anna Russian , 176. Pink indeterminate heart F2 – from cross #36 x Anna Russian for distribution now in February (maybe it's wrong, that I didn't request #155, but someone else did I'm sure), and still have these left from last winter/spring: 47. pink globe Ff x Anna Russian, pink, intermediate between heart and "ordinary" pink 71. pink beefsteak Ff x Grightmires Pride, pink heart 75. Anna Russian x Kalman, pink heart 84. Anna Russian x Orange Strawberry, red heart 114. Bawole Plantico x Orange Strawberry, red heart Now maybe hearts will experience a renaissance here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one in favour of them. The Black Pear x Orange Strawberry Kozula sent to me may even throw a dark (chocolate/brickred) PL heart, but that may require more plants than I'm able to grow out. I'm all in favour of getting F1 seeds in the hands of American breeders, and I know Jankiel is for it too, but we have to run it thru others here. |

I translated most of your sprouting report and posted it on the Polish site forumogrodnize.info , Bammer. Thank you, quite encouraging, as most Poles can't sow until the second half of March.

# 138 = 100% Germination 6/6
Gunnar, this pack was marked "Yellow&Red Stripe Fusarium F4.
I assume this one has some resistance to Fusarium?

Kozula #125 just barely sprouted.
Kozula #132 just barely sprouted.
Kozula #137 just barely sprouted.
Very cool.

Please excuse this (probable) dumb question: what is the difference between the #137 and #138?
Just the fusarium resistance?

Please excuse this question: what is the difference between the #137 and #138? Just the fusarium resistance? I don't see much other difference, as there are no pictures, except that 137 is labeled MIX, so it may be more diverse, and according to Kozula, 138 is a successful combination of the good looks of striped and flavour of pink tomatoes. |

#137 is a mix, because Kozula couldn't decide, which one was best. So the plants may be determinate and indeterminate, and fruit flattened or round.

I am curious to know if Kozula's #139 may be a heart or a paste, the seedlings so far look like a heart type, with the wispy vines.

There is no indication yet on how the fruit will look or taste, but the mother plant was a quite tasty segregate from #18, and a lot of people in Poland are paying close attention to it. |
