L 1-9 and L 1-10 FY 2-5. Peach/Pink bicolor interior. My notes say "TASTY". I'll probably carry a few plants worth forward. FY 2-9 notes say - "pretty BC, quite tasty" FY 2-14, FY 2-16, FY 2-15 |

It was a great season for my favorite cross. Here's the "best of" (and some others that just looked cool). I still have some sitting on the counter waiting taste test/seed saving, so I may have a few more to post. I'm psyched to see everyone else's final results from this line. I sent it out to a number of people (especially the "antho mystery" sub-line).
AM FY 1-9. From the "antho mystery" sub-line. Love the looks, and the taste was 9.5/10. Near perfect. Except that I could have saved more seeds. "Antho Mystery" FY1-10, FY 1-8 and FY 1-3. All had bicolor interiors. 1-3 taste 8/10, 1-8 was an 8/10 and 1-10 was 8.8/10 FY 2-31, FY 2-33, FY 2-30 FY 2-33 My notes said 2-30 had a GWR/pink BC interior and excellent taste. 2-33 had good taste, good looks and good productivity. L1-19 AWESOME looks, fruity taste, one of my favorites of the season. I'll be doing a bunch of seg's from it this next year. L1-19, L1-17 L 1-19 (see details above) L1-17 was sweet, Taste 7.5/10 L 25-5, L 26-2, L 25-3, L 27-1 L 25-3 nice BC, Taste 8/10; L 25-5 very good flavor, L 26-2 Ananas Noir type, small, EXCELLENT flavor; L 27-1 small, but epic stripes, great flavor. L 1-24, L 1-6 I love the way 1-6 looks, and the good, acid taste didn't hurt. L 1-24 was a pretty Ananas Noir type, taste 8.5/10 L2-29, the photo doesn't really capture the coral-pink color of the interior. Taste was 8.5/10, my notes say "good stuff"! FY 4-11, FY 4-5. 4-5 wasn't worth seed saving, but 4-11 had EXCELLENT flavor. |

FY 2-4, bicolor good flavor FY 2-6 FY 2-7, Rich flavor, less sweet, productive. FY 2-9 nice stripes, bigger, 7.5/10 FY 2-17, the blocky plum shape was an interesting suprise. BC interior. Taste 8/10. Definitely gets a re-grow next year. FY 2-16, FY 2-13, FY 2-14 Taste reports - 2-14 7/10, 2-13 5/10, 2-16 7/10 L 1-7, nice citrus flavor L 1-12, L 1-8. Loves the looks on 1-12. Good flavor. 1-8 was nothing to write home about. FY 2-10, FY 2-15. No save on 2-10. 2-15 was tasty and meaty though. FY 2-33, FY 2-27. 2-27 was boring old red, but the nice, classic old-fashioned flavor made up for that. L 2-5, L 2-8, L 2-6. 2-5 was very early but bland. 2-8 was a no save (I'm not saving anything out of this line w/sub-7 taste). 2-6 had a lt pink BC core, lime-acid flavor and ripened early. L1-28,L 2-27,L 2-25. 2-27 was pretty with very good taste and early. L 1-34, L1-8, L 2-1, L 1-4 All early ripening, 1-34 a and and 1-8 both had good flavor. FY 2-7, FY 2-8. Didn't save 2-7, 2-8 had the classic "black" taste. FY 4-5, FY 4-10, FY 4-9 FY 2-2, FY 2-3. 2-2 had VERY good flavor. 2-3 was bicolor, taste 7/10 FY 2-5, "metallic gold" stripes, pink interior, acid, taste 7/10 FY 2-34 FY 2-36 "Antho Mystery" FY 1-1 bicolor interior. |

I just can't help myself Paddy, but have you set up a trout test to see what they prefer?
Gorgeous looking stuff you've got going there.I am envious since from my 17 plants Freda brought in a few cherry tomatoes, and FOUR,that's 4, large ones, just a complete disaster. Carolyn

Finally cut into the orangy brown one in the first two pics. It was hands down the best tasting tomato of the season. Moving forward on this one for sure.

You have the coolest tomatoes! I love them all. wish I had room to grow one of everything in the ground. the pots last year were a dismal try. so sorry. I think I have 3 tomato cages unused at this point.

Love the look of the orangey-brown one. And even more psyched to hear it tastes great. It's still amazing to me how much good stuff has come out of this line (and how much variety there's been). I'm growing almost 240 plants this year from this cross and the more complex crosses involved with it and I have the highest hopes for them all. Would you save me some seeds from the orange-brown, and from the other one (if it's good, looking forward to that report). Thanks!
