Name Your R&D Projects

What interesting Solanaceae or Solanum projects have you got underway or are planning this season?

I have a few…

Tomatoes

Grub’s Mystery Green: Green PL, Green RL and large Red RL growouts.

The Dwarf Project : Sneezy F2s x 7, two PLs, developing flowers.

Nepal x Tommy Toe F2 (outgrowing Pasture!)

Cherokee Green supposed bicolour from Mark Korney (good strong seedlings almost ready to plant out).

Brad's Black Heart (one slow seedling but I have hopes)

Sungold x Jaune Flammee F2s (hatching)

Tom’s Yellow Wonder (bubs doing fine with true leaves)

Also, I have abandoned Kelloggs Breakfast x Akers West Virginia cross as it just wasn't tasty, large or anything.

Lucky Cross Pink proved small and unproductive last year. This was an F6 selection. I will now seekout the bicolour —★for next season – that I have heard so much about.

Peppers

All new to me this year, with particular interest in the C.Pubescens, Fish and Joe's Long, which hasn’t sprouted yet, but which I have to grow in a competition to beat some English lads. Longest wins.

Moreover, three years ago Patrina sent me some peppers seedlings in straws in the mail. The first year they just sat there. Last year two fruited and provided a source of entertainment shared in the Pepper forum hereabouts. Now the third and last one is growing, another mystery. Three-years old and unknown.

Eggplants
Very excited with this project. But of my eggplants the Almagro arouses my curiosity the most. See Eggplant thread.

Potatoes
My next mission now that we have Tom onboard. Spudz.

So what projects are you planning on?
