Julie, I think we'd better find some time to distinguish between the variety Josphine which a Tville member sent me, which is OP, and various spellings of Josphina and you had one in parens as an F1, I don't remember the spelling on that one. What was the source of your seeds for Josephina and do you know it's OP or is it a hybrid.
I only know about the OP variety Josephine but haven't looked around yet. 
BTW, I am not from PA, rather from upstate NY, so know where PA is, ahem and have several froends who liove and grow tomatoes there. And that's not live to grow tomatoes, b'c living and growing tomatoes are two distinct issues, aren't they?  |
Carolyn,
I'm responding because I'm the one growing Josefina- you posted about it this am on one of your feedback threads and I responded there. But since it applies more to this thread, let me say again that I was contacted today via PM by the source of the seeds and the confusion was due to a simple spelling error that appeared only on the packet that he sent me. He asked me to thank you for pointing out the spelling error and I've since corrected it in all the various places where I've written it. The variety is indeed called and spelled Josefina and the seeds were purchased by Tania a couple of years ago. Tania doesn't list this as a hybrid on her website, so I'm assuming it's not, but there is apparently a variety called Josefina that is a hybrid because I saw it via a google search. I don't know anything about the variety called Josephine other than what you've stated. So I think all is well with my list.
And yes, I'm quite happy that life isn't just about growing tomatoes.
