The one that jumped out at me was
Aunt Ginnys x Kimberly
because I've grown AG and it was luscious, but it didn't produce much because it doesn't get hot for more than a week at a time (if that) here. Haven't grown Kimberly yet, but it's on my list because it's an early with (I've heard) a good flavor. So I'd be looking for something that approaches the taste of an AG, produces well in cooler climates, produces consistently all season, and approaches the earliness of K. Size could be 4-12 oz. -- not a big factor for me. Something like that would be the perfect tomato for my climate.

Richard, that's the initial cross that PapaVic/HoosierCherokee/GGG made and there are lots of folks growing out the selections and segregants. I was interested from the get go b'c NAR ( Neves Azorean red) was one parent.

Are there special selections/segregants that you're working on that are different from what others are working on?
