2013 Project Photos - Page 4

Absolutely no rush! I'm done sowing seed until Mar 2014.

Not surprised on the vines. Sungold and Choc Cherry do that too.

I will get them out to you, but it may be a couple of weeks yet. I am deep in the middle of trying to finish up seed saving, get the field cleaned up and planted with a cover crop and a seemingly endless list of things to do for the fall.

I planted several of Mr. Hemple's 'Pink Bumblebee' tomato plants...however, ONE of them is producing tomatoes that look more like Sunrise Bumblebee, although it is coloring just like his 'Blush' tomato. Could he have gotten a Sunrise seed into my pack of Pink Bumblebees, or is this just a 'mutant' of some kind?

I thought a pair of photos might help...these came from two different plants, but the seeds came from the same pack of 'Pink Bumblebee' that I ordered from Artisan. One tomato looks like the standard Pink Bumblebee, bit I have no idea what this yellow one is. Sunrise bumblebee? The coloring doesn't quite look the same as the photo 'upthread', although the Sunrise may blush later in the season. Or is it a 'mutant' of some sort? Any ideas?

The second does look more like Sunrise Bumble Bee.

Where did you get the seeds for your Pink Bumble Bee?

My apologies for the delay in getting back to this thread.

I got them from Artisan Seeds, last October. Seeds came from the same pack of Pink Bumblebee.
