Nice of you, Bob😀
Cherokee Purple, grown by Cherokee in Tn, that has a nice blend of tart and sweet that tomato nerds call “complex”. Right up there with Brandywine and a few other beefsteak types in our house.
The Cinderella’s Pumpkin looking one is an heirloom Italian that the seed catalogs call Paste Type. Costoluto Genovese. We like them fresh or for salsa. They are meatier inside so I don’t have to cook off tons of water. Taste is on the tart side of the spectrum, so perfect for sauce and paste.
This one came off a volunteer seeded from spoiled tomatoes on the ground. It’s a bigger and healthier plant than the ones I started under grow lights, moved to the greenhouse, up-potted twice, and set out. Mother Nature is a much better gardener than am I.

They’re for an elderly widow. Customer of my wife who I see once in awhile. I always try to give her some junk out of my yard🤓

Thank you Jeff for the detailed explanation. I envy your horticultural skills. 🤩
 
Not really toting this today, but I thought I would share. This one is a real special one for me, a few years ago while visiting my mom, I had to go out in the storage building and look for something and saw my dad's old toolbox out there. My dad passed away 12 years ago. While digging around in the tool box I came across this Imperial Kamp King, but it was in rough shape, the cellulose film was all crumbling on the handles, rusted, etc. I decided I would clean it up and hold on to it because it belonged to my dad. I was heartbroken when trying to put one of the scales back on the little tab that hold it to the liner snapped off. I was bummed about it and just set it aside. Last week I thought about it again and found a broken scale donor knife for cheap on ebay, so I was finally able to get it back together. I kind of want to carry and use it but at the same time want to just keep it for the memories
