Let me know if you don't use that name. I think I might have a new tomato that would be more fitting of the name.

I think I'll keep the working name Pandora's Box. I like the box full of surprises metaphor, though in this case the surprises are good, not evil.

Nothing wrong with changing the outcome of the myth of evil to good coming out of Pandora's Box.

Why just last week I was able to solve the mythical conundrum of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Everyone knows the egg came first since all chickens are hybrids

Wait, I said that wrong. The egg came first because the first chicken was a hybrid and all subsquent hatchlings are unstable

Oh wait, I think I'm still wrong

Now you must remember that after Pandora let out all the bad stuff, there was one thing still left in the box right? It was HOPE.

Beautiful tomato Mark. Really enjoy the pictures of this (and other tomatoes) posted to your blog. If you ever need a volunteer or it becomes available down the road please reach out. Amazing cross. Tomato gods were smiling that day!
