I'd be interested in how different folks choose the parents for a cross.

Once, Keith said something about how he liked to cross two parents with very diverse characteristics and see what segregated out. But I also think he said that sometimes results in some unpleasant taste profiles.

Then again, I see Keith also has worked with the Brandywine x Cherokee Purple cross and grow-outs, so that doesn't seem so far-out (except Blondokee must've been a surprise).

Anyway, could some of you give your reasoning behind your parent line choices for crosses, and tell us something about what happened in the F1 and subsequently, and how it compares to what you expected, etc.?
