U2 a.k.a. Elbonian Mud Ball
 
For now, this experimental tomato (F2 seed) is going out to all of those in the round robin swap who sent in or requested black tomatoes. I'll fill in the details when I have time, which should be in about a week.

Please no requests for seeds, now. I'll post in the Have forum after the swap.

:roll:If I get a PM about it, I might send Alice to your cubicle.

So what happens if the neighbors in the community garden see plants of

"Searching For Blue Zebra", or

"Seattle W:shock::shock:ly Blue Mamm:shock:th"?

Haha! would make me seem mysterious I think. But they are getting interested, more so each year. I will convert them yet. everyone here grows standard, usually hybrid determinates in cages. Just growing indeterminates is a reach for them, never mind the oddball heirlooms I favor. Most have never heard of a black tomato for instance. not even the common ones like cherokee purple nevermind your Elbonian mudball :)

Tormato March 1, 2013 01:11 PM

Your maverick 'maters went out today.

KarenO March 1, 2013 05:14 PM

That is so great of you! I owe you. I will be famous at the community garden now for sure. Planting time is coming up fast and this will be the most interesting year ever thanks to you and so many people here at T-Ville who have been so generous in sharing their seeds. Payback is coming from Karen O. (ps: I like Dilbert too) have a great weekend!
