The HSL one I had was very definitely heart-shaped (anatomical not "image") but yes that would be lovely... a few of those red and yellow ones would be lovely...

I thought I might be overdoing things with 30 plants of 5 varieties

Costoluto Guenovese
Shirley
Moneymaker
San Marzona
Tumbler

Compared to the quantity some others are planting I don't feel so guilty ;D ;D

Don't really know why ? but I will offer a suggestion;

In the UK some people call potatoes 'taters' and as they are both of the same family this might be a clue.

Plus I think tomatoes in the USA are grown in fields in a similar way as to how we in the UK grow 'taters' (potatoes) so this may be the connection.

That is it tee gee,in the states the tomatoes are grown on fields ,like we are doing with ouwer potatoes.

to my understanding 'taters (tatties) is just a dialect contraction of the word Potatoes... but Tomatoes could undergo a similar change to 'maters and then assimilate to taters... :-\
