I am a little surprised.....

thought it would be waaaaaaay longer......

should I send you some seeds ???

Douglas14 · January 5, 2016

I think I've only grown Sun Gold F1 from your list.

I'd be interested in how McMurray # 10 does for you. If you don't mind, what's your seed source for this variety?

Another one I've considered form your list is Orange Paruche F1.

Best of luck to you with them!

As I would expect, not many are familiar. A couple are ones I really like, but they are wee little guys. hundreds and Thousands lived up to its name, and I grew it in hanging baskets. It resembled a currant tomato. Loved going out a grabbing some off the vine to throw in a salad. I found them very tasty. As I recall, at the time I got the seeds, the only place selling this variety was in England.

If you enjoy currants, Teds Pink Currant won't disappoint. Love those little guys, and the color is pretty, an added bonus. Production is fantastic also.

I did try Honey Giant one year, and it must be a very long season because I never got one ripe one, and I gave it one of my best spots.

Hum , Black Striped Heart Cherry sounds very interesting. Hope you will post some results from your grow outs.

I've located this picture, but unable to find much on habit or production.

I know the name on this one is horrible but it looks to be an amazing tomato. Said to be a dwarf variety with just about every color on it. Here is a link with a description and a picture.

I received McMurray #10 from the swap this year. If the plants do well i will have no problem sharing some seed with you.

G, I read your list several times b'c I didn't see where you listed either yellow or red pear

, but the black striped cherry is one that interests me.

Pattyb sent me fruits this past Fall and one box had just cherry sized one and one I really liked she called Striped Heart, which was actually oval and was, what I noted in my data book as red/green but I know it was darker than that.I'm in the process of following up on that but also wondering where you got your seeds for it.

I'm also curious to see what you get with Zluta Kytice, I know what I get as to shape and taste, the best multiflora that I've grown to date and had it here in the backyard this past summer, but there are differences of opinion as to whether the shape should be round or oval and what the correct name should be if there is just one.

And no, I have absolutely no intention of getting into the specifics of that i just want to know what you get with it.

Most of the references I found for the Thong variety were on facebook and I lasted on facebook, after being talked into it, for about two weeks, and still get notices asking me to rejoin, so the only non facebook link I have is one where it said that it was Blane Horton who bred it, which I had already assumed from the get go..\

I received my seeds from the MMMM swap this year so im not quite sure where they came from. From the looks of it though they seem to have came from Patty. I planted at least a dozen plants to help select for the striped heart cherry.

Did you send these to the swap Patty? If so what generation are these seeds?
