Fortunately all the plants that don't reach the ideal you're going for will still produce perfectly edible fruit. ;-)
Does this mean we get to eat our mistakes? I saw a bumper sticker a few months ago that said "in case of _______, eat the kids first!". Substitute your favorite disaster in the blank.

I have 46 plants of a Sunlucky line growing in the garden in hopes this particular group will be the ephemeral much desired stable cross that produces super sweet bicolor fruit the size and shape of an egg. It takes a LOT of space to do significant selection for fruit traits.
