Okay, here are three photos of a Ramapo F4 tomato from F4 seeds Barkeater sent me in late 2005. He got his F3 seeds from Carolyn. Barkeater said his seeds were tough to germinate, but I got four started, and planted two at home and two out in my seed garden.

The tomato is almost round, but ever so slightly oblate at 3.25 inches wide by about 3.0 inches tall. Ignore the caption "F5" on the background ... my mistake ... this is Ramapo F4.

Here is a shot of the blossom end:

Okay, ignore the "F5" designation again ... well the seeds are F5 anyway ... but the tomato is the same F4 in the other shots.

This tomato was the first to ripen off the four Ramapo F4 vines I have. It ripened all the way through, but just had a little white membrane inside the seed cells toward the top of the tomato. Boy, was it juicy and delicious. And I'm sure they'll get tastier as the summer goes along.

Thank you Carolyn and Barkeater for a great Jersey Tomato
