Update 2009 -

6 F3 NAR-X seeds germinated out of 6.
(NAR-X is what I'm calling my line from red RL vines).

Results: 5 RL's and 1 PL

Will be growing 1 RL & the 1 PL

What an inspired cross! May have to see how it holds up to our subtropical hot/himid summers next year! LOL - we may have our first subtropical system coming through in the next week to introduce my mater babies to life down here (grrr). Am taking the "insurance tomatoes" to Durham this next week LOL.

I'm growing BW x NAR RL Red F3 this year - got a chance to taste today and love it. Nice bite, rich and with a hint of sweetness. Yum! A great cross by Bill.

Much of what I've been picking falls in the 6 to 7 1/2 oz range.

Good growing Suze!

My line of Neves x Brandywine (called NAR-X) produced the biggest tomato we've ever grown at my house at 1lb 14oz

Amazing production, disease tolerance and taste.

I have 1 RL & 1 PL out in the patch this season. So far a def. winner produced by Billy J.
