Default Merced x ?, 20 times!!!

I was looking for information on Merced, and Tom Wagner ended up saying he had some old seed he would send me to grow out. I was amazed when he sent an e-mail saying he had sent 20 lines in the mail, all different crosses involving Merced. I am a little overwhelmed and nervous, but I have 14 of the lines growing in the garden. They might be just a little bit late, particularly after the biggest ones were killed in a late freeze here. They will be tested in regards to heat tolerance, and that is one of my biggest interests.
The lines I have are numbered 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20. That is all I know, making this a surprise growout. Interestingly, some are fuzzy, one so much it looks like a plant made of velvet. I cannot wait to see what the different lines produce in fruit!
I hope to take pictures and keep everyone updated on this big to me little growout. Thanks again Tom!
Drew
