Mostly Mystery swap questions
This thread will be for questions about varieties received, and any other questions. I'll start it off.
Many of you will receive... "Blue Suede-uth Shoes" F1 (RL) ...and would likely have questions about it. It's a small/medium red globe with dark purple to black shoulders. This is what I believe is a natural cross of OSU Blue and Brandywine Sudduth, from my garden in 2011. I'm estimating I saved about seven tomatoes, so maybe 1 in 7 will be RL, and the rest PL (Brandywine Sudduth). That's if no other crossing took place. I know what Brandywine tastes like. I don't know what a suede shoes tastes like. In my garden, it was a toss-up as to which it more resembled in flavor. But then, red tomatoes are usually lousy tasting, from my garden. I also have F2 and F3 seed, not sent in the swap. Dr. Lve Apple |
