Looks like this one definitely isn’t in our database yet. Folks asked for a description, so here it is. Big thanks to Ira from St. Petersburg for this one. Haven’t crossed paths with her in a long time, I remember her avatar was a pair of red boots.<\/p>\n

She asked if I wanted an expired seed packet and I didn’t turn it down. Those old seeds kept popping up just fine for another couple of years. I didn’t try them after that, though they probably would have kept germinating.<\/p>\n

It’s an indet vine, but doesn’t try to rip the roof off your greenhouse. More of a mid-season type. Fruits are large, bright yellow, and oblate. The taste is completely unique. I’m usually not big on acidic tomatoes, but this one’s got a really special tang to it. Almost exactly like a lemon. Great aroma too.<\/p>\n

Way back at the end of the last century (makes me feel ancient just typing that) I grew a variety from Germany called Golden Queen. We had our own domestic version too, but they were completely different plants, fruits, and flavors. Anyway, Limonni reminds me a lot of that German Golden Queen. That was a very long time ago though, and I don’t have the chance to grow them side-by-side to compare. So I just stick to loving my Limonni.<\/p>\n

Can’t seem to get the photos to insert right now. I’ll add them later in the replies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I grew this one too. Huge yielder, tall vines. The flavor is definitely unique with a nice bite to it, right up the alley for folks who don’t care for overly sweet tomatoes.<\/p>\n

The color in my photo is a bit off from the real deal, it’s slightly less bright in person.<\/p>\n

I’ve been growing Limonni since 2016. Vera @tomatinka sent it to me as a freebie gift with a seed order. The variety was completely unknown back then, I couldn’t find a description for it anywhere, but Vera promised I’d like it. And she was right, it turned out to be an excellent variety!<\/p>\n

Indet, crazy yields. I grew it in the greenhouse and the vine was just loaded with these gorgeous flat-round, bright yellow tomatoes. Since I’m a huge fan of yellow varieties, this one instantly earned a permanent spot on my favorites list \ud83d\udc4d Here it is coloring up on the vine:<\/p>\n
