Patty,you sent fruits to me last early Fall labelled I think Striped Heart or Sweetheart Striped, it was hard to make out the label, and I noted in my data book, red/green,oval, no black that I saw and I did let them get ripe.

You also sent me your 2015 growout list which was outstanding, but I didn't see this one on the list

I can't save seeds anymore which is why I contacted you about this one, which I really liked, so no seeds, but I do HAVE seeds now,labelled Black Striped Heart so look for a PM about that.

Since Ijust finished another post to Patty, she said in a PM or em that if you got them from the swap, then yes, she sent them in to the swap, so there you go and as far as I know they are completely stable.

Patty can comment on stability herself.

Just Cabin Fever kickin' in, this time of year.

It must be nice that the fever doesn't effect Florida.

I agree with Marsha. Just finished a 5 mile walk on the beach. No cabin fever here.

Here is a belated pic of my babies. The micros went into coco coir and the rest went into Root Riot peat cubes. I am going to stick with the Root Riot cubes because the germination was better and i had not a one helmet head in the bunch.

I changed my system a bit this year. I used to pot them up into 3.5 inch pots that fit 18 to a tray. I now use 3 inch pots that are stuck together and fit 32 to a tray. Both systems fit in a standard 10.5 inch by 21 inch seedling flat. Next year i will start all my seeds in Root Riot cubes in Roots Organic soil inside the flats. That way i will not have to pot them up.
