I will say that from a genetic point of view I don't see how this info is going to be of much use, actually, and if it were me I think I'd just concentrate on genetically stabilizing what you have that you like.
YES, please do that! Even if you just e-mail me a descriptive list if there are varieties I don't know.

From a genetic point of view, it would be easier to predict, anticipate, or decide which segregates to follow or pursue if I knew what both parents were!

Every year I think of cutting back here because of everything going on, but I "get stuck" growing at least 60 plants and they are getting into the ground later & later every year. Not to mention I don't have the room to be growing 12 or 16 of each cross or segregation to find recessives or silver bullets! I actually have more KBHeart cross plants than all my other projects combined.

Oh, and Korney's Cross flipflopped from brown to green!!! I'd really like to see a pic of what Darrel sent to Glenn!
