For Fred Hempel
Here ya go FredH. last pics for you of the GBT's. I took three pics of each from different angles. Crazy storms and flooding weather here this week with clouds in and out and hopefully you'll be able to see them good.
All have the green coloring with red striping. Green insides and green gel around seeds. Nothing really unique in the plants. They all more or less performed the same and looked the same. The only real difference was in the fruit skins and amount of juice.
GBT #1 & #2 had thicker skins, more meat and not as many seeds.
GBT #3 a little less meat and bit more juice.
GBT#4 the thinnest skin and very juicy.
With GBT#3 and GBT#4 especially, the taste was sweet. Very sweet , but not sickening sweet.
Personally I preferred GBT # 3, but that just me. Like some meat and juice.
The only real problem I had was figuring out when to pick them. They do need picked just shortly after the red stripes appear. That's when they taste the best too. Not knowing if they were going to turn fully red, I left them on too long and then they started to split.
Not quite as sweet as Blush, but then I am spoiled by Blush, but very good overall.
Seeds are fermenting now. Thanks for the opportunity to grow them out for you.
First up GBT #1 ( others to follow in order)
