Hi Caroline! :O)

Yes, I'm aware of the Reimer's Seeds F2 history.

The majority of my information comes from T****** Depot's forum for giant tomato growing which is moderated by Dr. Marv Meisner.

I obtained most of the information concerning Totally Tomatoes being the exclusive outlet for F-1's from Marv's book.

Your information concerning the backstory of such is very interesting and I thank you for informing me about it.

I am also on Big Pumpkins.com's giant tomato growing message board where Marv also frequents.

Many of the tomatoes listed here came originated from the Big Zac strain with some as descendants of Hunts Delicious strain world record holder.

These are just a sampling of some giants from last year back to 2008;



5.0 Timm 09. > 3.8 Timm 06.
4.90 Nieuwenhoff 12. > 4.62 timm x self.
4.42 Landry 11. > 7.33 Hunt Delicious. 24.25" CC,
4.41 Timm 09. > 5.32 Timm 08.
4.39 Timm 09. > 5.58 Timm 08.
4.29 Timm 08. > 3.90 Catapano.
4.19 Montgomery 12. > 5.07 Boudyo x self.
3.85 Landry 11. > 7.33 Hunt Delicious. 23.25" CC,
3.85 Hain 12. > 4.42 Landry 11 x Self.
3.81 Sundin 12. > 4.91 Lyons 11 x Self.
3.61 Sundin 12. > 4.42 Landry 11 x self. (
CC = circumference )

My vision concerning tomatoes has become myopic to only focus on this particular subset of growing.

Thanks Carolyn for the information!!
