[Solanum315]

For a while in April and May, I was thinking that this was going to be a bad year. Cold weather and ridiculous rainfall in NY delayed me putting my plants into the ground and even after I put them in the ground in mid May, they still were not super happy about the temps and wetness. One thing I did differently this year was planting in large pots with a hole in the bottom for roots to reach into the ground undersneath. In a good year, I think this would be less than ideal but in an overly wet year, I think it kept their feet relatively dry and also let me stay away for a few days when it finally got hot.

Anyway, on to pictures. First up is Minnie Moose, formerly known as Pink from Syracuse. I mentioned it in another thread. This is the F2 of an accidental cross between Black From Tula and Angeles City Native (a commercial variety from the Philippines). First few pics are from a megabloom and the second few are more normally formed fruits. Slightly on the acid side of balanced flavor.
