Kinda like Lucy going to work on the candy line with chocolate covered cherries....

Or the bestest one- the veggavitamix stuff Lucy got drunk on.

Just like that except the candy was stationary and the teenagers were moving. They were shoveling it in as fast as they could.

It reminds me of my one sugar coma, Halloween night, many, many, many moons ago. I bought several bags of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - 24 count - large size (not those new minis). I had an entire bag leftover after the trick-or-treaters were gone. There was an all-night Three Stooges film fest on TV, so I kept watching until the bag was empty.

That is one of Gary's. I'll let him answer your question. He can do it MUCH better than I could.

Yes it is unstable but does anyone have general growth habit and flavor info? Looks so pretty.
Thanks!

I'll have to look through the experimental bucket for BSS F4. If it's not a pink label, it may be from someone that I previously sent F3 seed. I spell it "Blue Suede-uth Shoes".

What can you tell me about Uncle Remi? I see a small bit of information about an Oncle Remi tomato out there, but I don't know if it's the same one, and there's not much information on it.

Gary, Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the seeds, arrived today!
I see you sent me Black Early X Pink BTD F3, so I was wondering what was selected for in the F2? Stripes, taste, earliness? Sorry if this has been answered and I missed it... I've been averting my eyes...

I only had one plant, so I didn't select for anything. It was the best tasting black I've ever tried (comparisons - not going there). A short PL plant, black beefsteaks (some boat-shaped) to 14 ounces, fairly early.

It's likely way too early for reports on off-type fruit from swap participants. But, any reports on off-type leaves of varieties can be posted.

OMG, if it's a black and YOU LIKED IT then I have to try it.
But I hate to tell ya, both Black Early and Pink BTD are RL, so you have to wonder, where did the PL come from? It's another mystery cross!

Looking for info on "Blue Ambrosia (pumpkin variant)"
I think 2014 when I was shopping for seeds I saw this...maybe but don't remember any details?

Does pumpkin refer to color, shape, size, ability to carve into a jack o'lantern?
