I put 25 of them out, 15 of which will be dedicated to seed (yes, I want this thing spread everywhere, and for free).

It's another one of my breeding projects. Mer De Nomes Red is one of the two parents involved, it is about twice the size of Mer De Nomes red (4-6 oz), Black, Juicy, and determinate (or at least it was last season).

Hope that helps

Nope, thinking of them being increadibly heavy fruit setting, in and out, winter greenhouse tomatoes so that I can produce 2 crops a winter, with limited space and less heat prior to plant seeding in the spring! This is what I am hoping for anyhow.

How is it doing??
