Ginny, just for learning sake, regular leaves have serrated margins, look sort of toothy, potato leafs have entire margins, they are smooth. Some potato leafs have 2 smaller leaflets at the top, they look mitten like.

Lookat this webpage.http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/t...539004321.html

Once you see the difference you can tell instantly forever!

Looks loke the ones that were supposed to be Everglades really might be Black and Brown Boar like JMSieglaff suggested... :-) Stay tuned.

Have you gotten a ripe tomato off this plant yet?

Yes and it is definitely Black and Brown Boar which I grew several of this season so I got my seedlings mixed up.

The other plant that I was trying to identify in this thread (the sedds were labled Surpriz) ended up as below which if I understand correctly is a known and expected segregate of the seeds I have for Surpriz.

Interesting looking tomato, how is the flavor?

Nevermind, I saw the flavor write up here: http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=34460

A neat looking tomato + good flavor, seems like a keeper!
