Lisa :
Here is some background data on the seeds you obtained from Steve's Red/Green Cross that I brought to CHOPTAG 2006 Tastefest.
The seeds from which these tomatoes were grown were obtained from Steve in Jan 06.
There were 6 seeds, which when planted came up 2 PL,
2 RL and 2 never developed to the stage where leaf type could be determined.
The envelope was marked F3 and 03RL1 meaning that they were from the Reg. Leaf line he saved.
While it's possible that there was another accidental cross in my garden, it's not likely.
Unfortunately I did not record whether the tomatoes I brought were from a PL or RL plant. I saw no difference in the fruit from either leaf type.
But it would seem that it should be the RL plants that should be carried forward.
Steve said the cross is not yet stable and he won't consider it so until he gets F6 seeds.
My germinatin on the F4 seeds this year was 1/5 after 12 days, so if you have a couple RL's going begging at the plant swap, I'll take them and plant them out. It's a darn tasty tomato.
