Some of my very exciting crosses are now buried under F1 Promiscuous x LA2329 habrochaites foliage. I hope they ripen soon, and I am able to dig them out of there with the labels intact! On the plus side I see quite a bit of fruit setting on both the F1 and the pure LA2329 plants. The possibility that some of those may also be back crosses is also intriguing. This project would be greatly simplified if a high percentage LA2329 habrochaites plant would produce good tasting tomatoes. Though the possibilities in both directions are really rich right now with 50% habrochaites, 62.5% habrochaites, 31.25% habrochaites, and 81.25% habrochaites/wild all reasonably possible outcomes of this year's crossing block with LA2329, MMM F1, Promiscuous, Big Hill, and the Promiscuous x LA2329 F1's. I am simplifying a little bit because there is likely a little bit of penellii in there as well and some of the domestics come with some introgressions from additional species. Also, I have the LA1410 Solanum galapagense in the same garden. If I get a LA1410 cross a subsequent year goal will be something like (MMM x LA2329) x (MMM x LA1410).
