PSR-37 Early Girl O.P

[silverseed]

Does anyone have or know where I could get some of PSR-37 the open pollinated version of Early Girl developed by Tim Peters of Peters seed & research ? Also are there any other o.p versions of Early Girl out there ?

I know that you were the person who sent me lots of seeds for PSR-37 so I could make a seed offer here at Tville and it was separate from my regular annual seed offer.

I just tried searching for it, but no luck, since it WAS separate from my annual seed offer.

And in that thread there was lots of information about the fact that Early Girl F1 was developed in France, Burpeee was given an exclusive I think for 3 years and persons saying that b'c when they grew out PSR-37 some got PLplants that were presumably in the parentage of Early Girl F1 and came through in Tim's PSR-37.

There was also a link to idig where Travis (here at Tville) nee Papa Vic at idig had shown many pictures of what he grew and I remember now that you were at idig yourself at that time.
Maybe it was the idig link that went into all the history that was posted within my offer here/

I may still have some of those seeds that you sent me, but no time right now to go hunting, so in the meantime why not ask for seeds in the WANTED seed subforum here, and if nothing then I'd do some searching.

Carolyn, I just sent you a PM with the link to that past offer you made here for the PSR-37. Didn't post it as I thought you might want to review contents before deciding if you wanted a link to it posted.

The idig thread you mentioned that had some history on PSR-37 is just an open Heirloom Gardening thread so

We posted just one minute apart and no, I didn't review it but if the idig link in my seed offer link doesn't work perhaps the one you linked to will.

Thanks again,

Carolyn

So, Carolyn, in post #3 we have a link to the April, 2010 PSR-37 discussion at idig

In post #4 a link to your May, 2010 PSR-37 seed offer.

And in this post a link to the General Discussion thread to which the continuation of PSR-37 discussion from your seed offer thread was moved March 9-10 of 2011

http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=17430

Pretty good overall discussion.

[carolyn137]

I thank JLJ for finding this offer that I made here for PSR-37.

http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=14401

Read it and I hope you enjoy it but note that this is NOT a seed offer for anyone.

If I am not mistaken, just a few short years ago, Silverseeds posted a photograph of what looked like several ounces of PSR-37 tomato seeds that Peters sent him, after which Silverseeds made a seed offer of some sort.

Maybe someone to whom Silverseeds sent out PSR-37 seeds has some to return. And since there he had what looked like several ounces of seed, maybe there are still some languishing somewhere ... one would think.

This is getting more interesting by the hour since I just received a PM from Silverseed ( singular) who I confused with Silverseeds ( plural), who sent me the PSR-37 seeds.

Silverseed is a long time SSE member from OH and reminded me that we had talked on the phone and also reminded me of at least one variety he had introduced to SSE.

And said if I found the seeds that he'd really like to have them for 2016.

In reviewing the one link that was posted above there were lots of folks who got that seed from me but it was noted that it was probably contaminated with the variety Native Sun, but if anyone who got the right PSR seeds still has some, please speak up or forever hold you peace, since if not I'll have to try to get someone here at home to help me search and it won't be until I get my seed offerup, andprobably not until the US tennis Open in NYCity is over, and that starts inlate Aug for two weeks/

Please post here in this thread you have some rather than PMing me.

Forgive me for my few obsessions, one being tennis watching.

Silverseed, if you are reading here thanks so much for PMing me and sharing with me that you are NOT Silverseeds ( plural).

Just thought I'd mention, in case those searching for PSR-37 haven't found it, that sandhillpreservation dot com has it in their 2017 listings

"PSR-37: Mid-season, Indeterminate, Potato Leaf, exceptionally high yields of 6 to 8 oz. round, red globe fruits. Pkt. $2.00 Certified Organic Seed"

Also, possibly useful info

PSR-37 setting like crazy!

travis says that the original info on PSR-37 identified it as PL

Early Girl "Improved"
http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=15969
Has info on PSR-37 as well as Early Girl plus a link to some Early Girl history in post #4

Not suggesting that anyone does or should want PSR-37, just that if it is wanted, looks as if Sand Hill is a good place to get seed.

I'm inclined to think it would be interesting to compare next time a "give Early Girl another chance" mood strikes, but don't know if that will be this season or next or never.

I don't have the 2017 catalog yet, actually I'm one of the few that he does send one to these days, and that for several reasons,but yes, he lists it.

midseason, indet, Potato Leaf,high yields of 6-8 oz of round red globe fruit,pkt $2.00 certified organic seed.

And it wouldn't surprise me one bit that I sent those initial seeds to him,and no doubt still have some in the back room but far too old to send to anyone.

I am so glad you clarified that about who was who, LOL!

There's also an OP version named Dirty Girl.

It would have been helpful if he had compared his OP version with other known ones.

Also did any of you know that when testing new varieties for Early Blight, A solani, that Early Girl was used as the positive control?

I kid you not.

Carolyn

[gardeninglee]

Does that mean they knew early girl would succumb to Early Blight?

And now I'm wondering if it was really Early Cascade F1 that was used as a positive control.

In any case, whatever the specifics were there were always positive and negative controls, and of that I am sure.
