\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Lyubimyi Malyshik (Favorite Baby) is a mid-season<\/strong>, indeterminate<\/strong> Russian family heirloom promoted heavily by seed vendor V. Kolyakov. The vendor claims it produces incredibly beautiful, sugary fruits up to 7 oz (200 g) with great late blight resistance and massive yields. However, real-world grower experience tells a different story: poor yields, constant cracking, and a very bizarre, salty flavor profile. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Got these seeds from V. Kolyakov. Here’s his original description:<\/p>\n

Tall vine, large-fruited. A true Russian family heirloom. Received this variety from a hardworking, tomato-obsessed lady out in the Russian countryside. Her family has grown it for generations. Mid-season. Fruits are large, with a mysterious, hard-to-describe color. Absolutely stunning – a red base with blurred pinkish-raspberry halos and a pearlescent sheen. Reaches up to 7 oz (200 g). Pure sugar when sliced. Incredible yield! Supposedly “perfected” over 100 years and not found in any other seed collections in the world. Late blight resistant! My absolute pride and joy!<\/p>\n

Well, for me it turned out to be a really stingy yielder. And the flavor was just downright weird. At first bite, it was completely bland, but the aftertaste was literally salty. Just awful. On top of that, the fruits cracked on me constantly.<\/p>\n
