Well, Chris - I am doing some really wide, fun crosses since I have all of the released dwarfs going. I think half a dozen seem to have taken, but this incredible heat and humidity has put my crossing efforts on hold for a bit. Wildest one so far - Summertime Green (1 lb fruit, green when ripe dwarf ) X Mexico Midget (red pea sized). I am also using Speckled Roman in some crosses to bring pastes into the dwarf line - and stripes as well. And maybe potato leaf! I do have a few dwarfs X Sun Gold that seem to have taken.

Right now I am mostly watching with interest a few F1s from last year's dwarf X indet. crosses - fruit set excellent, plant vigor amazing...but of course the results will be pretty predictable and boring with the F1. then the fun begins!
