Sun Gold

maryinoregon · March 16, 2007

I grew a start of Sun Gold in 2005. It was delicious and everything I expected it to be. Late last summer or early fall, I found a couple of tiny plants in the area I planted Sun Gold in 2005. I let them grow and they produced tiny orange tomatoes. The plants were also tiny. The tomatoes tasted exactly like Sun Gold to me, except they were a little tart. I presume because they were ripening in mid-September and into October. Usually that's the end of the season for tomatoes here. Plants did not get more than a foot high, maybe a bit more. Am assuming they did not get bigger because there was not enough heat left to grow them bigger.

Anyway, I saved some seeds and started them, wondering if I would get anything interesting. Disabuse me of any of my assumptions if you want. I did not put this in Crosstalk because I had no plans to cross them. Would appreciate any suggestions as to what to look for. I should also remember what to call these, but I don't. Are these F2 or F3?

Thanks for putting up with such elemetary questions.
