I have a few different things I'd like to do, but I'm looking forward to playing with stripes and anthocyanin and some different colors and fruit forms. I'd like to try and get some ribbed/fluted tomatoes in other flesh colors as well.

I've been too busy with the day job to work out the genetics involved, but if my basic understanding is accurate just getting gs, atv, aft, and abg together in one breeding line will likely require a rather large grow out. Throw in a few more recessive traits and it's not quite a needle in a haystack, but it's close...
