Hugh's Black X Azoychka - grew out F1s this summer and have lots of F2 seed (medium, round red with exceptional flavor)

I crossed these this summer (I used PL as the female with RL pollen donor so I would know at the seedling stage if the cross took - These all did):

Brandywine Cowlick's X Margaret Curtain - Growing F1s out now
BKX X Margaret Curtain - Growing F1s out now
Pink Pioneer X Margaret Curtain - Growing F1s out now
BKX X Seek No Further Love Apple - Growing F1s out now
Black Sea Man X SNFLA - Growing F1s out now
Pink Pioneer X SNFLA - Growing F1s out now

I don't have near enough room to do all of those crosses justice if there is any potential in any of them. I'd be more than happy to share seed if anyone had interest and would be willing to send back seed of anything that looked promising or interesting.

I've enjoyed what little I've done and learned working with these and reading. I am very intrigued by the micros and would love to help with the grow-outs if you could use some help.

I will also make room for your crosses and would be more than happy to report back and send back promising seed. I will send pm with my address.
