Default Free seed of 2012 crosses

All,

I kind of went to town on making crosses this year (>30 were successful). I would need a small farm to grow them all out. Below are the F1s I'd be happy to share from the collection if anyone is interested. My only requirement is an agreement to send me some F2 seed next year! PM me or post here if anything strikes yer fancy!

Green Zebra x Black from Tula
Juliet F1 x Chocolate Cherry
Juliet F1 x Green Zebra
Juliet F1 x Prudens Purple
Juliet F1 x Speckled Roman
Rose Quartz? x Prudens Purple
Rose Quartz? x Dr. Carolyn
Dr. Carolyn x Beauty King
Dr. Carolyn x Green Zebra
Dr. Carolyn x Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Chocolate Cherry x Sungold F1


p.s. I don't think the Rose Quartz I obtained from a trade was right. It looked like a multifora to me but didn't look like RQ multiflora fruit from what I could find.

I'll would like to try Juliet F1 x Speckled Roman. How many plants
would I have to grow out. I think 3 would be the most I could do.

Hi Chris.
I would like the following if I may
Juliet F1 x Prudens Purple
Juliet F1 x Chocolate Cherry
Dr. Carolyn x Beauty King
Dr. Carolyn x Pink Berkeley Tie Dye

And any others you may be able to send.

My wife will not be happy but tomatoes are tomatoes and I like growing them.

Thanks

Andrew

Hey all, thanks for the posts and PMs! I will have to put together a spreadsheet of what goes where. I have time to followup with a couple of you and get seeds sent before I go offline for a few days. I will get seeds to as many of you as possible though when I'm back!

I might have to make the rest available given the response!

Best,

Chris

Chris, Since I know NOTHING about any of these except for sungold, please send whatever you have, if you still have seeds left. I am game to try any of them and send you back the seeds. It sounds interesting to see what comes of any of them.
Thanks, Carolyn K

Got mine in today's mail. Can't wait until next year to try them. Sigh, so much to grow, and so little room......
Thank you for these great sounding crosses,

Added a couple more people. I made a bunch of brand new dwarf crosses, I may send some of those.

Thanks. I received the seeds today. I'm excited to see where these head. I'm seeing that I need to go ahead and get organized though!
