Will just have to trust me on the flavour part. There can be other F2 grow outs as well but it's more fun to do another cross I think.
There's no rush, as it is this is twice as fast as I can do it on my own. I will start the F2 in March and then send back F3 seed from our selections in the summer. Patience is a virtue in most things. Including tomato breeding. Growouts done with 20 plants in a single pot under cover so the plants themselves are not even a factor in the selection and released unstable at F5 just are not my style, Marsha's either I am quite sure.

The F3s are where I am going to be in close contact with you Karen, your guidance will be very needed. I find this exciting because of how much I will learn, as well as the creative aspect.
Karen, did you notice the second flower truss forming on the plant in the second photo? Heee!
