Fireworks Heirloom Tomatoes

[AnnaIkona]

Definitely growing 'em next year! I can't resist...gonna order some seeds now, in case I forget next year. Haha.

I think I tried one of these from a friend's garden quite a while ago, don't remember how they tasted, I just loved the look.

Thank you. It really is a striking tomato. I find I get very inconsistent shapes with them. I have a lot of double flowers on them right now. Those come out the very distinct heirloom shape. Otherwise they can be round or have a slightly pointed bottom. Whatever the shape, they are the nicest tomato I have ever eaten.
I highly recommend them.

The Fireworks they have here is not what I have. There are two varieties called Firework. Mine is from a German tomato which is called Feuerwerk which translated is Firework. But to buy seeds for this you will need to search for Feuerwerk. I only learned this recently as someone was having trouble finding it. It was sold to me as Firework. The name is correct, but strictly speaking should be referred to as the German Feuerwerk.

This is what you want

Ah. Sorry. I can't help you there unfortunately.

This one is certainly interesting one, great looking and there may be indeed few strains of it... As the Incredible Seeds store refers to is as acidic and fruity. I can't do to well with very acidic varieties, so if yours has more sweetness, and you saving seeds this year, I would be happy to offer something tasty in return for 2017...?

I don't find these acidic at all. In fact I have a friend who had stomach cancer and cannot eat tomatoes because of the acidity. But he can eat these with no problem at all. I have been giving him these tomatoes for 3 years now.
I'd do a trade with you if you like. What do you have?

I have not saved seeds for few years, so how about going back to the origins? These Feuerwerk were originally brought from Russia and introduced to wider population by Reinhard Kraft https://tomaten.bplaced.net/Tomatenfotos/anbau-2004.htm

The freshest seeds I can offer would be Reinhard Kraft's Chocolate Heart, Purple Heart or Green Heart (very few seeds left). Outside of his list, just what's growing this year (will be saving some seeds):

Bulls Heart Pink
Cherokee Purple
Cherokee Chocolate Heart
Grubb's Mystery Green
Spudakee (PL version of Cherokee Purple)

All of my other seeds are 5+ years old, will start re-growing them slowly going forward to re-stock.

I don't have any seeds right now, so it will have to be when I dry this seasons seeds.
I like sweet tomatoes, so pick which of this years are good and send me those.

[Duh_Vinci]

Sounds good! I too prefer sweet tomatoes, so I'll be sure to find you the best from this season.
