Decisions, decisions. LOL So now I have some F9 and 10 which are far apart in taste, but both are delicious. I grew about a 1000 plants to get to this point. haha

I have also been working on a Bloody Butcher x Chapman cross. I selected a small red tomato in the F2's on RL to replace BB, and it has, but I got a cherry on PL from those that is rather good. I think I just started another project. The decisions us tomato growers face in life?

Hey Mark. Funny isn't it, you make one cross looking for one fruit, but still you end up with siblings that are as cool or cooler than the one you intended... And who can resist to grow out the whole tree instead of one branch. I'm sure KarenO and Ginger will agree. Life is full of good things....
