Some of those are single gene traits so not too many. For any combination of three genes 1 in 64 F2 plants will be homozygous recessive for all three (you have to plant more than 64 though)...now good tasting, that is going to be a complex trait and potentially require larger numbers. I am sure there are others that can give better empirical numbers than I on this one!

I have 30 crosses (so far) this year. No idea what I'm going to do with them all! Might have to prioritize a bit.
