Baconase - African Queen x Porkchop
Now at F2

The parents:
http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/African_Queen
and
http://www.rareseeds.com/pork-chop-tomato/

Two of the all-time greats in my opinion. What I was originally looking for was a PL version of Porkchop; an epic yellow with old-time, rich taste (if you haven't grown African Queen, it's the perfect example of an "heirloom" taste-wise. Rich and sweet. Just awesome). And I got that in one of my F2's. Here it is--

But that's not the one I'm carrying forward, because this little baby was love at first sight (and first bite).

FY 2-1. Production was medium, but the fruit were all big and meaty, and the plant was a PL beauty. So now I'm content to just take the ride and see what else comes along.
