Great! I'll get you some seed this week.
I've recently made several crosses between micros and have grown out the F1s - which were also micro. Therefore, the F2s should also be micro, so it does away with the micro-hunting.
I have (or will soon have) F2 seed from crosses with the SFT carroty foliage mama and papas with stripes, purple/black, orange, yellow and/or fuzzy in their lineage. It would be interesting to find carroty foliage with any of those fruit characteristics. That should speed up the process by a couple of generations.
This is more likely a fall project for most folks, but if anyone else wants to treasure hunt with F2 micros, let me know.
