My first cross tomato

[FILMNET]

I have a Berkeley Tie-Dye plant 5ft from this plant is a Beauty King
This small fruit was from the BTD plant today, 2 flowers, and zipped and croosed

[dice]

So these fruit came from a BTD plant from seeds that you
saved last year? Or was this BTD plant grown from seeds that
you either bought or received in trade?

The cross is not necessarily with Beauty King. It could have been a cross
with some other plant that you or someone else was growing when the
BTD seeds were saved.

One thing is sure: if it is a cross with BTD (and not just a stray seed
from something else that got into the BTD seeds by accident), then
if you save seeds from those fruit and grow more than one plant
from them at the same time, the fruit on those plants should be a little
different from each other (F2 generation).

My BTD plant is growing nice, the Beauty King is beside it, and the fruits are nice. The left fruit it from Beauty King and the right fruit from BTD.The BDT seeds are mine from last year, and the Beauty seeds from someone this year.

Both plants are beside each other and both fruits are nice, The BTD seeds are mine from last year, Beauty King are from someone here this year.

My huge 1.5 lb , 5 1/2 in wide fruit from a small plant i did not grow, it came up from Compost in my garden look so different

The small fruit in those pics looks more like Beauty King than like
Berkeley Tie-Dye. I see no problem with saving seeds from it
and seeing what happens when they are grown out. This year's
weather could be producing some strange fruit sizes and shapes,
but the colors should still be consistent for the variety.

That big giant one from your compost pile looks like the Franchi
pear from last year, growing in different weather.

Franchi Pear i do and love them i have a plant, saved seeds from last year, it does look like it though it is 15 ft away from this plant. Which has some new fruit today. I have never seen the green side of a fruit like this before. I have the nasty Septoria
disease now spreading like crazy, and Irene coming Sunday we live 1/2 mile from the ocean north of Boston. Took all large fruits off plants, ground is soaked already, a ton of cracked fruit so far what a waste.

here is my disease yellow leaves to gray dead leaves

I have some plants that look like that most years. We have verticillium
in the soil, and tolerance for it varies. Some plants steadily lose leaves
all summer, but keep producing fruit. Others lose whole branches,
or even the whole plant dies.

I am losing 1 plant a week with this disease, but no complaining here I put all fruits with a color inside and i have done this all summer, A friend told me he just got a Tomato today to eat!!!!!! I told him is put the fruit with any color inside 1 month ago. I have had 25 lbs or more of fruit. Way are people wanting for fruit to be ready now, it's 2011, summer's and winter's are crazy now.Sorry about this, Texas is terrible this summer.

I harvest at first blush, in case of rain (splitting), and because of the chance
that slugs or snails will get to them if I leave them on the plant.
