Worked out which plant was the Jersey Sunrise (and I do only appear to have
one), and it's got fruit. Oddly, it has 3 ripe fruit that I picked today,
one is about 3" diam, one is about 1.5" and one is about 3/4", all ripe!

keep them pure!


I have a Q about this.

How do you know you are keeping them pure?

Please don't take me wrong but along comes a bee from a mile away and as
you open the poly. or greenhouse to maintain the tomato plants in he pops
and crosses all of them. I have often wondered about this.

You're mixing up your tomatoes with potatoes, Sacha.

Why?
Why would the offspring not be a mixture of all the possibilities - ie some hybrid, some the genetic make up of one or other of the parents?
