How exciting - great to hear this one's being grown out!!
To Carolyn - did some back tracking in my notes - and Craig's 94-64 Pur. Perfect x Pur. Price F2 came from your seed share 884 Purple Perfect X Purple Price NY MA (which I recall you received directly from Tad?) Anyhoo, I have no idea what Tad's goal was with this one, but I do know I was most impressed with the flavour of all three I grew out.
And, as an aside, I sowed all remaining seed from Craig's 94-64 this year, and have three plants (one rather tiny), so may get a few more good ones to work with. I also did try germinating your original seed which Craig kindly shared, but no luck with batch 884. I also have seed from Craig's 96-25 F3, but haven't had a chance to trial these yet.
And Suze, as for a name - hadn't really thought about it much, as I haven't pursued the "C" line. Perhaps we should wait to see what amideutch comes up with and go from there?
Almost as exciting as the dwarf breeding project 8) , which I unfortunately declined to take part in
Anyhoo, thanks to Suze for bringing this one back to the top.
