I posted this on another forum but wanted to make sure anyone who wants to participate can.
Here is the post-
So, many here want to honor Carolyn and her contribution. How about this for a tribute? In her book she highlighted 100 top favorites and several that almost made the cut, I can't think of a better tribute than if the tomato community grew out the varieties she listed and then did a mass distribution. Maybe individuals could be in charge of growing 1 or more varieties from the list. They could save seed in pkgs of 5 seeds so more packets could be distributed. It could be run sort of like an MMMM. I could keep the running list of which varieties are being grown. UPDATE-By popular demand- this also includes any varieties Carolyn offered or that she spoke about highly.

People would have a deadline to send in labeled baggies by Nov 1, 2020. A redistribution to participants and others could occur in January 2021. We could then assure some of the more obscure varieties don't disappear. Her spirit would live on throughout the world as many grow in Carolyn's honor. Experienced gardeners and site newbies welcome. Any interest? If so,please post which variety(ies) you are going to grow below in this thread.
Please let me know if I have missed any.

I got my book out, and here is her list: Varieties in red are being grown. LIST LAST UPDATED 4/13

I'm growing Eva Purple Ball and Black from Tula as we speak. And I almost forgot...Cherokee Purple.

Well That's a great start if you would be willing to save seeds?

You might add some other tomatoes she talked about outside her book to the list. She seemed to like Moravsky Div and Orange Minsk, for example.

I'd suggest that we also grow varieties she shared in her annual seed offers, not only those of her book. I'm growing 6 or 7 varieties I got from her, among them Durmitor, Pervaya Lyubov, Toedebusch Pink to name a few. I'll save as much seeds as I can to give them to a new MMMM here (or elsewhere).

Sorry to add to my post: Due to my own Covid 19 infection, I had a rather bad tomato year. No Durmitor, no Pervaya Lyubov, no Toedebusch Pink seeds from me, sigh...

That is a wonderful tribute to Carolyn and a great way to keep all of these beloved varieties going. I think that she would be rather pleased.

I agree anybody should send any tomato from Carolyn's seed offers or those personally received from her as well. The more the merrier. I also don't want to step on any MMMM feet. This isn't to take place of that tradition because it is so loved! This is just an additional way to honor Carolyn.

I believe the "Mortgage Lifter" should read "Mortgage Lifter - Estler's." She posted more than once on one of the old sites that she found the Estler's to be better than any of the several others by the same name. I am growing them this year specifically for seed since seeds of this are hard to come by. Hopefully the stars will align and we will have a decent year. If we do I should have seeds to share for next year. A couple other people have also graciously offered to grow some out for me.
One of my other favorites from her list is Big Rainbow.

Ive grown 11 on Carolyn's list...10 really good ones...and one that sucked!
1) Big Rainbow (tasty!)
2) Box Car Willie (big, plump, a keeper)
3) Cuostralee ( they took all year to get a couple BIG tomatoes)
4) Jaune Flamme (one of my favorites for taste, I plant every year)
5) Kellog's Breakfast (Good KBX)
6) MuleTeam (another good tomato from Ben)
7) Opalka (big paste, but seems to have BER here)
8) Red Penna (perfect tomatoes, another pick for Ben)
9) Riesentrube (one of my favorite cherries)
10) Russian #117 ( grew 1 plant last year, few tomatoes, but good)

and #11... Yellow Pear (yuktooie)
A spitter and a splitter all in one tomato!

I have most of these seeds (except Big Rainbow)
Some of these my be starting to get 4-5 years old...
If anyone wants to give a try, let me know!

This year I have sown so far only Jaune Flammee from that list. I would love to contribute the seeds for this distribution.

I did participate twice in Carolyn's seed offers few years ago and now I may have to check what I got from her and try germinate those seeds too. I had already my 15 varieties sown, but added two others on Sunday and now I have to figure out how to squeeze in a bit more.

Sari

I would like to participate....I will try to grow Omar's Lebanese, Russian 117 or German Red Strawberry thanks!

I've already started Crnkovic Yugoslavian, Eva Purple Ball, and Opalka this year. If my seeds germinate and the plants do well in this climate (and if I can find enough room in my garden for all 40-some varieties I started!), and if I get any tomatoes, I can save seeds. I've also started Medovaya Kaplya, which I originally got from one of Carolyn's seed offers. Not to mention the varieties I got from Farmer Shawn's recent seed offer!

I just learned of Dr Carolyn's passing.

A word about me: in the era from about 1990-2005 I went way too deep in the tomato obsession, eventually learning to cross varieties and select for certain qualities. I was always searching for a tasty tomato that would offer fruit before the end of August in my MN garden. I never really succeeded in getting a huge beefsteak by August 10, but did enjoy a few determinates...playing around with the short internode gene (which seems to be associated with blossom retention during cold night temps)

Then a trade with a Georgia Truck gardener who noticed a potato-leaf cross with that trait in 1998. At first dissapointing; only one of 40 plants grown the first year were satisfactory. Then 13 of 36, By 2008 it was stable and I began sharing seeds of HeShPoLe (Heart-shaped Potato Leaf)

In 2012, I entered local politics and abandoned the quest.

Im now retired, and decided to try to resuscitate the old garden projects. I wont have 2.5 acres of test plots, but perhaps enough tomatoes to eat. I found seeds dated as far back as 2003, and conducted germination tests; so far nothing too promising, but I do have one HeShPoLe each from 2008 and 2010 that have shed the seed coat. I recall that old seeds will sometimes send out a root, but then lack the energy to stand up and display cotyledons.

Rattling around in the closet, looking for saved seeds, I ran across Dr Carolyn's book, and while I cant access the emails we shared (that ISP went belly up a few years ago), I did have a couple of notes that went along with seed trades. I left it up to Carolyn to disseminate the HeShPoLe, sending her about 500 seeds in 2010, because by that time mobility issues made gardening hard. It was a way to allow her to keep in touch and stay involved.

Now I see she's gone...but the tomato is out on the web. Thank you, Dr Carolyn.
Hopefully, the two I got to wake up will give me fresh seed for next year.

I've got a few from her list growing this year. If they are healthy and produce for me I'll be happy to
donate seeds.

Box Car Willie
Brandywine OTV
Dr. Carolyn
Dr. Wyche's Yellow
Heidi
Lillian's Yellow Heirloom
Mule Team
Russian Yellow 117

Honestly, my garden every year is a tribute to Carolyn. This year I will be growing the Estler ML seeds, the last of the ones she gave me, next to seeds I saved from grow outs of her seeds, next to seeds from EdieJ. It will be Mortgage Lifter Palooza and I am sure Carolyn would have been interested in seeing the results when they are all compared to each other, and I will be saving seeds again. Any room I have left will go to varieties Carolyn recommended to me, including Box Car Willie. I always try to include at least one heart in her honor.

Love this idea. I have 34 varieties from the list and 2 from the trades.

Since I only have Jaunne Flamme and KBX (potato leaf variety of Kelloggs) on my 2020 grow list I would be willing to share seeds from the other varieties I have to be grown out and distributed. I am out of the country at the moment so must check how many seeds I have of each variety. Let me know if you would like to grow out a variety not mentioned above to grow out! Will let you know after March 15 what I can send you! Just asking for SASE to send them.

Thanks to everyone so far who has volunteered to grow and to those who have offered seed to others so they could grow Carolyn's varieties. Carolyn is smiling somewhere...

I'll grow a couple varieties too. Do you have a list of who's growing what so we know what needs to be grown?

I was also going to post this on the other forum in the thread of the same name, but I cannot for the life of me find it. Anybody know if it has been removed for some reason?
Anyway, I said I'd post what seeds I have that I may be able to grow out to contribute to this effort, so here's my lists:

I'd need a sincere expression of interest before I attempt to revive any of my older seeds. I promised my wife I'd cut back this year, and if I tried to revive all of these, well, that would NOT be cutting back! Anything without a date is one I have been growing every year, and while a few might be cut this year, the seeds I have are at most three years old, so still pretty good.

You can send me a few of the oldest seeds and I'll get them going to pass out fresh seeds for next year. I'll send them back to you or the MMMM swap.
