Hey, I hope you get over the flu and all (I had it last week and it's a particularly nasty strain), but ...

Glad you babbled long enough for me to finally learn how to spell "jenny say quah!"

Thanks for the tutorial on tomato genetics as well.

Taste hit in F1: Stump O' My Heart

Accidental Stump of the world cross that had a heart shape. Very good flavor, smallish heart, RL. Looking forward to the seggregation

"Once one has a recessive trait, they have it. A recessive pollinating itself can only produce a recessive. So, it actually only takes to an F2 to "get it" expressed and locked into that population. The plant will/may still segregate out for other traits in the F3 etc but once you have a potato leaf, all lines stemming from it should be potato leafed." [KC]

Keith,

Thanks for that information. It's exactly what I was looking for and explains something regarding those "off types" lurking around in the seed saving world due to reluctance to rogue, or maybe the desire for something different I guess.

In any case, now I know the minimum number of plants to foster out to my truck farmin' buddy should I happen to come up with recessive traits I want to pursue.

Nothing else worth saying. Just sending hugs to my favourite Santa. Nice to see you around.
