Yes I only had three germinate out of 24 seeds that were planted. I did PM Tom months back about it and was offered replacement seed some of any other variety, I told him I was good. That my PM was not really a complaint but was to let him know germ might be an issue with that F3.

I do have one plant that is growing will try and post pics

it has several baby tomatoes just starting to form. They are perfectly round and have a small strip of blue pigment that is located up to down.

Thanks. I planted 8 or 10, and didn't receive any. I'll try once more.

I've got 7 plants out of 18 seeds, off the top of my head. I'll have to get my notes from the farm to be exact.
-- I have heard that one person who has already harvested a few fruit did not like the taste of them... but of course taste is subjective.

: looking good there. My trusses on mine are a lower count like clusters of 4-6 yours looks to be about 8 to a cluster from that pic. WWP's also look from the pics to be setting 6 to a cluster. So that seems to be one difference in the F4's so far.

Good eye Stephen.

Nice pic greg. Did you trim back some foliage so the sun could hit your fruit better?

I prune the foliage of all "full-sized" plants (5 ft or higher) 24-30" up from the ground as a disease prevention measure and I just don't like yellow leaves.

The same cluster as my previous pic on here a week or so ago. They seem to be more blue. They do not feel ripe yet.

I am growing Dancing With The Smurfs F-6 this year and hope to have it stable to offer to the public. I will post pictures in a couple of months (March) when I start the seed; and document the process.

I grew it last year:

The fruit in the pic are from the same plant. The underside turns red. The ones in my hand are blue side down. I had to look at them from the bottom up to tell which ones were ripe.

I saved a lot of seeds. Anyone who wants seeds is welcome to send me a sase.
