Do you know that one of our Tville members,named Ed,he hasn't posted lately,was originally a commercial tomato grower in NJ,but then sold out and became a border guard with Homeland Security on the boundry betweeen NYS and Vt.
When I initially dehybridized Ramapo F1 I sent the F2 or F3 seeds to Ed,and he said he saw no difference between what I had sent and the original F1,which he had been growing on his NJ tomato farm and it makes sense since it had only two parents and both were known.Last I knew the OP was at the F9 and all was well.
Well I remember when the folks who gave me seeds for Opalka were coming from Canada to NYS and he recognized the name Opalka and asked if they were related to the tomato varierty named Opalka, and yes,they were.
He certainly had some interesting stories to tell about intercepting this and that and confiscating it.
