A pretty respectable size for a kitchen tomato
The green ones are the Ludmilla's pink heart x Captain Lucky F1
the Breaking ripe one is the Delicious x Captain Lucky F1

Day 7 now after planting F2 seed from a mature green LPH x CL I have 8 seedlings which represents only about a 15% germination rate but hoping for a few more. I now have more seeds so waiting to see what else comes up and will sow some more. I have decided in the interest of space to concentrate on the F2 grow out of the heart cross at this time as I am a big fan of oxheart tomatoes and would be excited if there is a heart (especially a PL heart) among the F2 seedlings.

I wish to thank those who encouraged me to try the indoor grow out over the winter. I wondered at times if it could possibly work and wonder of wonders, it did. The result is that it has saved and entire year in my project and that is a huge benefit in my short season.
