Old seeds from Carolyn

[Shule]

Where did Carolyn get all her seeds, anyway?

Carolyn knew MANY people in the tomatoworld, so think she got them from them.I have sent her many seeds and they were passed on to Shawn who grew them.So maybe he can better answer the question.And some she got from her students.

My apologies for being slow to respond here, and for not giving more info on the small-fruited varieties Lotte is growing. Some of them are determinate, which I almost never grow. All were quite productive of nice looking small tomatoes. Unfortunately, all of them were sadly lacking in flavor in my garden. Maybe they will be better grown in another's garden. I suspect they might be useful as breeding stock, because of their vigor and productivity, but I don't do that. I just grow out accidental crosses.
Anyway, that was my impression.

Looking at the pics, I'm assuming that those are red varieties. And, what I see is a lot of yellow shoulders. In my garden, nearly all tomatoes that get those dreaded yellow shoulders have disappointing flavor. I'm wondering if you got to taste any without the yellowing?

Right now I have discovered a new one germinating - Loka.At the seed-package is written ' Collected in 'Prison Market' Accra, Ghana'.
