Very nice work.
|
Thank you all for the comments and encouragement. It has been a labor of love and an exercise in patience over these past years. Making crosses is easy. Stabilizing them with the qualities you desire is the hard part for sure but it has been fun and rewarding.

It's a real beauty, congratulations for the wonderful work you've done!

[QUOTE=GrowingCoastal;658203]As well as being beautiful it looks like it has good size too. Looking forward to more pics as it ripens.[/QUOTE]
Size range about 8-16 oz a few have been over a pound |
The one in the pics looks seedless.:?!?:
|
Drooling, and me suffering with off season now. Where"s that dang mango I put away. Lol!
|
Speaking of mangoes Marsha, I was wondering how you are able to slice them so thin?

Wow Karen, that looks awesome! Please post more pics when you can.

I was admiring the photos, when it occurred to me. I don't see any seeds in that fruit, at all. Am I just being blind?

in that particular fruit no seeds at all. happens quite a lot with all of my first hearts. Zena's gift too. later fruits have normal numbers.these earliest would have set in quite cold night temps, down to less than 10 C. I won't make my fortune selling seeds of these. all my hearts have very solid structure with few seeds. it is a feature I find to be a big positive for cooking especially. They aren't dry though or mealy. smooth texture. KarenO |
even happened in some cherries this year. I'm quite convinced it is weather related although i'm not scientist. I have seen it a lot over the years in my Canadian gardens.

[QUOTE=KarenO;658326]Speaking of mangoes Marsha, I was wondering how you are able to slice them so thin?
KarenO[/QUOTE] They actually start out 8mm thick before dehydration. I just peel the whole mango, then successive slices across the broad sides until I hit the seed. A whole mango is about 8 slices. |
It's certainly a gorgeous tomato! Great work, Karen!

Much of my earliest fruit is sparse or void of seeds. Pinks more, potato leafs more. And if it's misshapen fruit on the first truss, guaranteed no seeds. My observation here.
|
Wow that is one gorgeous tomato! Congratulations!
