2022/2023 variety questions and maybe answers

[Tormato]

from a different year, i dug out waladecks polish giant.

polish giant i see on internet says big pink beefsteak.
would waladecks be about the same? seeds are from 2014.

Yipee! I get to correct the spelling on a variety that I sent out about a decade ago.

The name should be "Wladeck's", and nothing else added.

There is a "Polish Giant Beefsteak" variety, unknown if the same as Wladeck's, so I do not consider them the same, for now.

Both are listed, among 19,000+ varieties, here...

But, Girl Girl’s Weird Thing and Sart Roloise aren’t. Creamsicle Grape isn’t either.

The list likely hasn't been updated for several years.

only useful info i found was from old varieties.com

its one that was brought from poland after WWII by wladeck neitzgoda.
description says heavy loads of beef steak tomatoes of various sizes.
uses words like revelation, unsurpassed flavor and aroma. sounds good.
the seed bag did say waladeck. i double checked the spelling. if any of the seeds
germinate, and produce fruit, i look forward to being wowed.
always happy to brighten up your day there gary. only ten years behind on growing out
some of the seeds you sent. i'm catching up.

Back then, only a few packs came into the swap, and were indeed labeled Waladeck's Polish Giant. I repackaged more (pink labels) and sent them out with the same name.

If they germinate for you, then produce unsurpassed flavor and aroma, and people here read about it, you know what is going to happen...

I did a search of this large Pink tomato, but very little information came up. Anyone grown this one and if so, what did you think about it?

I have La Vie en Rose on my potential list of Pink tomatoes to grow in 2025. It looks great on the SSC seed vendor’s site and I have the seeds thanks to the recent MMMM swap.

Being limited to growing just so many tomatoes, I want to know perhaps how far up the list of pinks La Vie en Rose should be placed.

So i havent found anything whatsoever on Iva's purple rust. Presumably its a purple tomato but other than that any clues?
