Great advise, Thanks again Allan (and Steve).
Them must be some.... tomatoes, Allan. Guess if I successfully save
seed I could then just buy ''finer'' seed, and hybrids to boot.
Hee,hee... I'm getting it now. Glad I have experts to ''show me the
ropes''.
Wouldn't this fit under the subject of:
Vegaholics anonymous , Stan. :-)
Seriously, what are these Cherry Tomatoes ?
Is UKP17 all the name they get ?
Are they rare ? Have you raised them before ?
Have you even tasted them before ?
