Default U2 a.k.a. Elbonian Mud Ball

For now, this experimental tomato (F2 seed) is going out to all of those in the round robin swap who sent in or requested black tomatoes. I'll fill in the details when I have time, which should be in about a week.

Please no requests for seeds, now. I'll post in the Have forum after the swap.

If I get a PM about it, I might send Alice to your cubicle.

The Pointy Haired Boss (of the swap)

I just had to see if I had actually sent in or requested black tomato seed. Yes to both.

"Searching For Blue Zebra", or

"Seattle Wly Blue Mammth"?

Haha! would make me seem mysterious I think. But they are getting interested, more so each year. I will convert them yet. everyone here grows standard, usually hybrid determinates in cages. Just growing indeterminates is a reach for them, never mind the oddball heirlooms I favor. Most have never heard of a black tomato for instance. not even the common ones like cherokee purple nevermind your Elbonian mudball

That is so great of you! I owe you. I will be famous at the community garden now for sure. Planting time is coming up fast and this will be the most interesting year ever thanks to you and so many people here at T-Ville who have been so generous in sharing their seeds. Payback is coming from Karen O. (ps: I like Dilbert too) have a great weekend!
