Seed Count

The ‘Anna Russian’ tomato is an early-maturing, indeterminate heirloom prized for its large, pinkish-red, heart-shaped (oxheart) fruits with distinctive green shoulders and a pointed blossom end. Fruits typically weigh 8–16 ounces and feature velvety, juicy, dense flesh with very few seeds, delivering an excellent sweet, rich, old-fashioned flavor that is naturally low in acidity. Although the plant’s wispy, finely cut foliage may appear delicate or even unhealthy, it is normal for this variety; the vigorous vines are highly productive, producing heavy yields in clusters of two to three fruits, especially impressive for an early-season tomato. Maturing in approximately 65–85 days from transplant, Anna Russian performs reliably and is well suited for fresh eating—particularly sandwiches—as well as canning thanks to its meaty texture. Originally brought from Russia to Oregon, this variety was introduced to the Seed Savers Exchange in 1989 by Craig LeHoullier.

Tomatoes are a relatively easy fruit to grow, and are a delicious summertime treat best enjoyed straight from the garden. Plant them in a sunny location once all danger of frost has passed. Remember to set up your Staking System right away, to avoid a headache later on, since proper support helps keep the plants healthy and producing. Tomatoes come in two types: determinate and indeterminate. Determinate are better known as “bush” or “patio” varieties, and have a set-size that they will grow to, making them ideal for shorter growing seasons or small spaces. Fruit on a determinate tomato plant sets and ripens all at once. Indeterminate varieties, such as cherry or grape tomatoes, will continue to grow and produce throughout the season; until the plant is eventually killed by frost or runs out of nutrients. Be sure to always supply tomatoes with added calcium to prevent Blossom End Rot. Consistently check water levels throughout the day, since tomato plants are very heavy drinkers and require a lot of water. The most common pest is the Tomato Hornworm, which can destroy your crops with its voracious appetite. Check plants regularly and pick any off by hand. Hornworms that have rice-looking eggs on them may be left alone; as this indicates the hornworm has become a host for parasitic wasp eggs, and it will eventually die.
