Out of micros, I have grown Mohamed and Red Robin and Aztec, but they're all OP.

Interesting, I'm growing a few "Sweet and Neat Yellow F1" this year, it's doing better than any others outdoors, and is also proving do stay very healthy in lower light levels compared to the other types I'm growing this year. Not tasted it yet but should be able to soon, do you know any other plants in this "series", and how are they related? For me it's grown taller and sturdier than I expected despite keeping it in tiny pots. I've attached a picture of the Sweet and Neat Yellow F1 plant I have growing at the office at work (in less than 700ml of John Innes #2 soil) - given a bigger pot, more light and more regular feeding I imagine this would be much larger! So I don't know if I would call it a "micro", especially not compared the the Micro Tom I grew in 2012. The picture was taken about a week ago, it is even chunkier now and has a couple of small green toms developing.
Actually, looking at the following page, I think "Lemon Sherbet" is just the name used for marketing this in the UK/Europe? Which is strange as I'm in the UK and purchased me seeds in pictorial packaging from Essex based Kings Seeds, who are just calling it "Yellow" instead of "Sherbet" (they have also changed "Sweet'n'Neat" to the more proper sounding "Sweet and Neat"
).

I've had Mohamed in my eBay wish list for a while now, and already have some Red Robin I probably wont be able to resist germinating before the end of the season lol - how did you find the flavour/growth of those two?
