Shtambovy Kartofelnolistny 164

Here's a pic of my favourite seedling - got this one from USDA - potato leaf plant - should be bush type

Some to Watch

Could be some interesting results with this cross. Notice the different leaf forms in the F2 plants. These are the Sungold x Mom's seedlings.

Mom's is a regular leaf plant with a high yield of 6-12 oz, yellow fruit with red marbling, outstanding flavor, and Sungold is an early indet. regular leaf cherry; a favourite of many with its golden fruit clusters.

Spring 2008 Seedlings

Well, here we are back at the start - start of the growing season that is. And another round of tomatoes to trial this year.

First Pick

Well, a month since my last post! Anyhoo, here is my first pick of the summer ...... Mano, Persey, Sophie's Choice and some 42-day cherries :-)

Guess this is more like an occasional update rather than a blog :-)

However, fruit set has begun. Here is Mano, an early ripening dwarf.

A little seaweed and a little warm and they are starting to look good at two weeks into transplant. Note the different leaf types.
