Hello all you mad scientist tomato breeders I call friends!!
This is just some of the stuff I think would be cool to make.
1. A green when ripe heart
2. A striped bicolor heart PL
3.A polka dotted tomato in all colors
4.A tomato that produces 2 colors on one plant
5. Dwarf species that taste good and come in black
6.A plant that is varigated and produces striped black tomatoes
7. An op that taste like sungold but doesnt split.
Stay tuned this is just my thoughts today!!

I have a set of black dwarfs that tastes as good as supermarket tomatoes, and some that taste a little better. Does that count?

I have seeds for one of the black dwarves and there is a chance of me getting seeds for one crossed to spudakee, brads black heart, and purple haze f1. |

This one is pretty much covered from the dwarf project at tville. I'll believe that when I taste them. FWIW, I've grown BBH and while most of WBF's varieties have great flavor, this one didn't for me so I don't see how crossing it to anything will improve flavor. Also, I've grown many of the dwarfs that were originally used as parents and most of those were mediocre tasting at best. Time will tell. Also, can we please get away from using the term "black" when describing tomatoes?!  ;D |

Darks. Or Brown and Purple to distinguish skin color. IMO

After playing with orchids I'm pretty used to horticultural colors like black and blue, which are colors not close to black or blue IMO. "Black" is like "heirloom"... wildly inaccurate, but it is the catagory on the seed venders websites so everybody knows what you are talking about. African American doesn't work in this case. Purple is the old catagory for pink varieties. Red-Green makes me think of Canada and duct tape. Rgf and Rgfyy works for me. ;D
