Galina's X Burracker's Favorite F1

**Patrina_Pepperina** · January 6, 2009

Ray, here's a pic of the fruit, beautiful! Interestingly, the skins are a bit on the tough side, as are the walls, but the flavour is very good (fruity and tomatoey at the same time).

In reality they are not as strongly coloured as they appear here, more yellow with orange shoulders and not so red as they appear in this pic:

Burracker's Favorite from the late Chuck Wyatt was one of the first heirloom varieties I tried to grow here.

It is one of the very few bi-colors that doesn't turn to mealy, flavorless mush when it ripens here in Massachusetts.

Beautiful. What size are the fruit? Is it a cherry? I would love to find a PL bi-colour cherry out of this cross. Both hands raised for some F2 seeds please. Feel free to send seeds to anyone interested. I think that means you Mischka!
I must dig out those other Galina's crosses next year!
I'm hoping to add a GY x Snow White to that list, though the weather isn't being helpful with most days hovering around 30°C. However, today it has cooled and there is cloud cover. If it's the same tomorrow I'll be out in the patch with my emasculation scalpel first thing!

I think it would make co-workers really nervous if I was to go around talking about emasculation and scalpels.

Whenever you visit my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also with happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long happy life with you: "Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved." No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you, and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail.
