Thank you! I’m excited about them and hoping the flavour comes across again

The smallest plants in this F4 of the project are starting to set those same little flattened beefsteak shaped fruit again.
All of the gwr stripe and most of the yellow striped

A few examples of fruit setting on individual plants ranging from 1-2 feet tall. All of the plants will produce fruit larger than cherries.
Lots more photo and video as always on Northern Gardener if you are interested in my various projects in the garden

Lots of diversity among the fruits. Some examples: plants are 11-24” at this time.

Almost there. My cool wet weather has delayed things a little but I’m pleased with the plants and there are plenty of fruit on them that will blush any time now.
The plants range in size from 12-20” nice and healthy and all the fruit are larger than cherry size, even in the smaller plants.
The BB little green looks pretty uniform, the larger plants have quite a bit of variation in the fruit which is fun to see.
Ripe fruit soon

Looking really good Karen, I'd like to try some once you release them!! I can appreciate all the work that goes into this project, after I tried crossing some cherry tomatoes. Do you use a magnifying glass when you do it?
