Loving Heart. Seed source was Uralskiy Dachnik. Grew it outdoors in the dirt, and despite the totally crappy summer we had, it performed really well and pumped out a huge yield. The photo just shows what I pulled off the vines in the fall during garden cleanup, the main harvest was already picked, and I didn’t take any other pics. Let the plant run to three stems, it got to about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. It sets nice hearts of varying shapes, and I really enjoyed the flavor.<\/p>\n

Got this from V. Pulinsh under the name Loving Heart Red (Lyubyaschee Serdtse Krasnoe).<\/p>\n

The vine got to about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, nice and sturdy, and very productive. Mid-early season. Fruits were around 7-17.5 oz (200-500 g), a reddish-pink color, super clean with a gorgeous shape. Great taste, definitely not bland. My overall rating for it among oxheart varieties is 4.8 out of 5.<\/p>\n

It’s a truly worthy variety. Both the yield and the flavor are top-notch. Taste-wise, it’s very similar to Bull’s Heart (Bychye Serdtse), but the plant is much more vigorous and pumps out way more fruit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bought my seeds as Loving Heart Red from E. Gorlova. Grew them outdoors in the dirt. The plant is a semi-det, definitely not an indet. Pink hearts with blunt tips. They are incredibly uniform, practically carbon copies of each other. Classic sugary, watermelon-like flesh. The taste wasn’t bad, but the crazy summer weather really did a number on tomato flavors this year. So I definitely want to give it a do-over next season. Mid-season. Yield was average. It has a nice, long extended harvest window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
