that's the way. Only the strong survive. All PL though right?
second seed envelope in the mail today with more of the bicolour seeds to replace the bad batch of poor germinators I sent earlier. (I think must have been fermented too long) and also some of a later pretty purple with no green shoulder (the regular mail this time) Up to you, if you want to sow when you get them, I know its late but all we need is seeds...

F2 of the Karma pink set. This one I have been referring to as a by colour but it really isn't. At first they ripen from green to yellow then the yellow develops a pink blush on one side. If they are left long enough The entire skin turns this apricot pink colour but the entire interior remains yellow. I do not see any of the pink blush on the interior. So although I have been calling this a bicolor, I really don't think it is. The fruit in this photo is fully fully ripe, it was even split from being overripe. They taste very good and I think this is an interesting and rather sort of unique colouration This one in the photo is particularly large. Most are smaller, the size of a large cherry.

Such fun reading these threads.
Very pretty tomato. New word for the day - pericarp. Didn't know any leaf miner would go for a tomato leaf. |

Been reading along and while all seem good, the pinked skin/yellow flesh looks intriguing!
