Hey why not slip in a couple of plants of a side cross - this is Hilbert's Hotel remember? Only two, practically nothing.

Or is this Noah's ark, two at a time?

Yes I crossed Rodney F1 with A.U., and wanted to see how the segregation for sweetness would play out. I figured a pretty sure thing, since A.U. was sweet and so was Rodney....
Wrong!
The earlier of the two, shown in the data table above, and occupying prime greenhouse hotel space, was not a bit sweet. It was a pointy and otherwise ordinary salad sized red, worthy of the epithet "It's a tomato."
The one that got shuffled outdoors turned out to be the sweet one. Of two. 1/2.
