I am thinking that a huge F-2 distribution of tomato hybrids, especially those with one or more genes for Late Blight resistance would be in order for next year. If I could get more folks to establish a plant or two with the best LB resistance they ever had....hmmm.....something for a listing in a website. Naturally a large population of F-3, F-4, F-5 lines could be listed also. I am just thinking..nothing definite yet. I might be a candidate for you next year. I'm trying to get hairy vetch to plant in our tomato patch as part of our campaign against LB. I'll find out today if I can get it or not. Otherwise, we will be using some other sort of mulch. I'm also hoping to run drip tape on the rows to help eliminate splash issues. I'm not trying to do a lot of varieties, just working on resistant varieties. We had some success with Fletcher this year. I kept seed from 3 fruits. The first keep was from 2 perfect fruits that were a bit over 12 oz. The second keep was from a single perfect fruit that was 1 lb. even. If you want some, it would be a 4 way split between you, Martin, MJ, and myself. |

So two folks have chimed in so far on supporting my thoughts about putting together a seed list for next year. Got to work with my webmaster about this.
Fletcher is not one I have grown yet, unless it had some seed of it before it was anything but a number.

Tom, somehow I missed the idea of you having a listing next year. I'm interested.

I am looking for some of Tom's variety (Sweet Dreams) that only a few people have had the privilege of growing so far-any chance of a few Tom ?

Sweet Dreams? Is that one of mine? Sounds like a sweet potato. I will have to see during my harvests if I have potato by that name.
Where did you find a reference to that name? Many times I forget what I called something until I dig or plant 'em again.
Tom

The list is a fantastic idea, Tom. And since you now have a Wagnerian family of some sort  growing your various F-2s and all, those selecting from your material could also make a list or join it to yours, according to your wish, thus maintaining the integrity of the heritage you are leaving us with. I'll have many pictures to show later on your site. I took them with somebody else's camera, a weird old Kodak camera, and will need to get them from the person, I have no clue on how to extract them from the camera |

, a weird old Kodak camera, I have no clue on how to extract them from the camera Why Michel, you just open the back of the camera, take the roll of film out, roll it out over the computer scanner and download the pics to the computer, then post them. That is how it's done, isn't it??  |

Or, you take the film to the photo shop and say...Ug.

Hi-Tom, the variety (Sweet Dreams ) first came to my notice when some pictures were posted of it on another forum by Amideutch from Germany, last year, the tomatoes appear to be be very long with a nipple on the end and they appear to be quite large tomatoes as a whole, at the time he said they were one of yours. |

Is "Make My Day" still existing? Couldn`t find any source.
It seems there is no new outcome in this ph2 ph3 lines in the last years. Is its resistence already overcome? Somebody has a link to newer information?
Thanks!
