Quote from Alisa:
These little noses/beaks drive me crazy! Maybe pointedness will appear on my highest trusses too? Natasha, did you save seeds from them?
Alisa, yes, I absolutely collected seeds from the ones that fully ripened on the plant itself…
Maybe I should try to wait for these pointy ones to ripen too? 😉
Moved the latest replies to the “How to speed up tomato ripening” thread.
Does the apostrophe and the letter ‘s’ in the name not bother anyone?
Translated, it should be “Sergeant Pepper’s”. It’s unclear if this is about tomatoes or lonely hearts))

Good catch, but it’s just not very convenient in Russian pronunciation. This tomato variety was named in honor of the Beatles album – so it *is* about hearts)))
Maybe just add the letter “s” – Serzhant Peppers? Or translate it literally – Serzhanta Pertsa / Peppera? What do you think?

That would be even worse)))
Names aren’t translated, and the letter ‘s’ indicates possession to someone (or something).
Those who understand what Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is, will of course disagree with the name, myself included. But alas, “Serzhant Pepper” (Sergeant Pepper) has already stuck to the variety.
The people will just call it Sergeant Pepper anyway, or even just Sergeant.

“Sergeant Pepper’s”?
What belongs to Sergeant Pepper is omitted, but by default it implies the “Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and in our case “hearts with anthocyanin.”
So maybe regular transcription will work: “Serzhant Peppers”?

The transcription is |ˈsɑːrdʒənt| or |ˈsɑːdʒ(ə)nt| – Sarjent.
Doubtful )) that people will call the variety Sarjent Peppers.

You missed the “r” in the word Sergeant.
The way the topic starter named it is fine, or “Serzhant Peppers”.
Sgt is NOT read with an “a” after the “s”.
Quite productive, set fruit well, but the fruits in the truss were all mixed sizes. The taste is for enthusiasts—maybe it lacked heat this summer; I wanted more sweetness. The absolute best taste was when the fruit was on the verge of being overripe, I specifically tried them at different stages. Otherwise, the variety is interesting for variety in the garden bed.
