Well its a month or two early to start any seedling, but I got word from a Plant breeder in Canada that he will be sending me some seeds down about the end of December. One variety of tomato which is still being developed is called OSU Blue which is a off shoot of P20 Blue. The Variety that I will be getting is one that uses a high production high flavor determent variety "Make My Day X OSU Blue which sets out 20 to 30 Pounds of Tomatoes that start out very deep blue to almost black fruit which ripens to a deep red. This is not a GMO, but a natural cross of a wild variety and a production tomato that is being worked on to improve its flavor and size. The MMD X OSU is not quite stable F4, so I'll get several shapes and sizes from it, but well worth the trouble of growing if nothing more than it being very unusual.
I will be getting some different varieties of melons set along, which promise to hold some disease resistance that I need so much here.
With half the country under snow here in the states getting the seeds will give me something to think about. I did get one of my Favorite Catalogs from Bakers Creek Heirloom Seeds www.rareseeds.com today, so I have some eye candy to look at while the temps are in the lower 20F mark. I can hardly wait to whip up a big batch of fresh Salsa using my home grown veggies, but till then I just have to make do with using what I have Canned last summer.
