My report: All (3) seeds of 3C8 were sowed 1 April. On 7 April, one germinated - a healthy seedling. The other two never germinated. Potted on April 19 and planted out on May 30. A slow start due to very cold (with some frosts) weather the first two weeks of June, but eventually a very large, vigorous plant loaded with fruit resulted. The fruit was round, beautiful with reasonably good flavour and generally weighed a generous ounce. Very prolific, have a couple of dozen "bagged" seeds and a couple of hundred "unbagged" seeds saved. No disease issues (but none of mine did) and seems fairly hardy, the full grown plant withstood several near-freezing nights, only succumbing at -5 C. Hopefully I can successfully post this picture:

Rats, didn't work. Needs to be re-sized much smaller apparently and I am technologically inept. Will try again when I have some help. The 16 fruits in the picture ranged from 1.1 to 1.5 ounces and were red with metallic green stripes.
