Would like to try out ICD next year.
Growing 12 different cherries this year, will have plenty of seeds to trade.

I plan on saving seeds from this plant and I can save some for you this fall.

Painted Pink took its time but is producing like crazy despite the heat. That made a perfect combo for me and I will grow both again this fall.

I am not sure if it was part of your breeding goal but Painted Pink and Danube always give me tomatoes after everything else is done.

Kay, what did you think of the flavor of ICDs?

I've got baby fruits set.

I loved the taste and so did everyone that I gave them too.

Great to hear! There has been a lot of good feedback on the taste. I've still got probably 5-6 weeks until my first are ripe, but I'm excited to try them.

Wel, I could not get the seeds. Maybe I did not try hard enough.

But I am proudly growing other two Indigos:

-- INDIGO ROSE
-- INDIGO APPLE.

They have been flowering like crazy. But I have yet to see a fruit bursting out of the petals and sepals.
Here they are, the Indigos, side by side, with SFT on the left.

They do taste good.

I just put fermented ICD seeds on their drying plate about 2 minutes ago.

Sorry for being late to reply.
Thanks for the offer, I will take you up on it.

First time I've grown an Antho tomato, so weird, so awesome!

I'm growing Indigo Cherry Drops this year, too, but I planted late and won't have fruit for a while.

I do have fruit on Indigo Kumquat F1. I don't usually grow hybrids, but I was at the nursery and that one happened to land in my cart. I tried to put it back, but somehow it came home with me. I like the name!

[NarnianGarden]

Woooo! That's an original name - I like Kumqats Little ones with character! WOnder what the Indigo K would be like... keep us posted.

[jmsieglaff]

Have a strong suspicion I will have my first Indigo Cherry Drops blushing soon. Production thus far has been very good.

Looks like Dancing with Smurf's, mine aren't quite ripe yet

The first two have been consumed!! They are tasty, good tomato flavor, balanced with moderate sweetness and acid. Very glad we're growing them. The plant is loaded with fruits and is very healthy. Anyone else?
