Tomatoes / Favorite Tomato Germplasm and 2021 desired crosses
« on: 2021-04-11, 08:25:51 PM »
I suppose my favorite tomato germplasm is that I want to make crosses with the most. I was looking over a list of my favorite short season varieties after 2017. Thinking about exciting new varieties I've encountered since. Then crossing out most of the boring red ones.
Big Hill is one I first grew in 2018. It's a great tomato. I still want to make more crosses with it. Most importantly with Mission Mountain Sunrise. Lower priority cross it to exserted tiger.
Want to cross exserted tiger with Mission Mountain Sunrise.
Want to cross exserted orange with the blue orange chile tressette descendents.
I think I would like to cross Payette with a exserted and or fancy tomato maybe Big Hill would do.
I would like to finally make a cross with sweet cherriette.
I would like to cross LA2329 with an XA1/A2 bicolor. I was thinking R18 or S35/36/37 but those are a smidgeon rarer.
LA2329 x MMSunrise might be nice though a little problematic until the prebreeding of getting a MMSunrise x Big Hill is done and an exserted segregate selected. Still might be doable.
Then maybe just a crossing block of exserted tomatoes: big hill, exserted orange, blue ambrosia, blue chile tressette, exserted tiger, exserted pimp x tressete cross. Spose I could plant it in the block with the obligates too.
Iron Lady, it would be nice to cross it with something Carol Deppe style. Maybe an exserted.
