They are looking amazing. It looks like you both are having a lot of fun with this project and doing a great job too.

I kind of wish my Ambrosia Gold was a bit of a dwarf. It is actually a monster. I like the loads of fruit it is putting out but it is going crazy big. I have it along side 2 other ambrosias and it is one big jungle. What a great sweet taste those golds have.
Are all Ambrosia Golds considered unstable? Quote:

Basically I am certain that the Captain lucky I had was stable as I have grown it numerous times and so we surmised that the Ambrosia gold I had was not. That doesn`t mean all of the ambrosia gold seed out there is unstable. But the ambrosia gold seed I grew out was either unstable or an F1 accidental cross although I think that is unlikely since the plant I grew out had all the characteristics of what ambrosia gold is supposed to be. It is a great tomato, excellent taste, big and vigorous, early and makes pretty trusses which is why I used it in this wide cross with the tricolour beefsteak Captain lucky who I used for the potato leaf, great taste and possibility of interesting colour. The goal of this project is a great tasting fancy colour (ie not red) Potato leaf cherry tomato. KO Last edited by KarenO; July 21, 2016 at 07:35 PM. |

I can't wait to see. I have set aside 6 spots in my garden for the PL F3s. Hoping to get Pink and also purple. Pretty cool if we get a yellow or GWR too. Karen, this is fun!

KARMA purple F2. A Clear epidermis black, Really pretty, tangy and sweet. sets fruit in trusses of about 8-10. Pretty happy with this one. Meets all the goals of the project which was to breed a tasty fancy colour potato leaf cherry to stabilize as an OP.
Now my dilemma is, should we go exclusively with this one going forward or bring along at least one sister line in another colour... Marsha, everybody, what do you think... there is an unusual bicolour with green gel that I think might segregate further in the F3 while this black one I am willing to bet will be fairly easy to stabilize I am leaning toward bringing along another but we both have limited space. A fun problem to have , go with the sure thing or take a chance on another. KarenO |
