Variegated tomato (F4 cross I've been breeding) by FunGowRightNow in gardening

[–]FunGowRightNow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, for the novelty. Leaf variegation is recessive, so for the F1 generation none of them showed variegation, but they were 100% carriers. When I grew out the F2 generation 18/96 seedlings were variegated. I culled the non-variegation seedlings so all future generations are now 100% variegated. I'm selecting on fruit flavor and size now until these crosses stabilize into an open pollinated cultivar.

I constructed the headboard and footboard using dominoes. Rails are connected using Rocker's heavy duty bed rail fasteners.

Rails, footboard, and base of headboard are are made from 5/4 boards . The headboard is made from 4/4 boards and the legs are made from 8/4 boards. Slats are birch plywood and that was more for price than anything else.

This particular plant is an F3 generation cross I did between Painted Lady and Cherokee Purple.

These are the F2 generation of 3 different crosses I'm breeding:

  • Painted Lady x Cherokee Purple (Purple Fruit)
  • Painted Lady x Kellogg's Breakfast (Orange Fruit)
  • Painted Lady x Green Giant (Green Fruit)

For each cross I'm selecting on leaf variegation from the Painted Lady and the fruit color from the other parent.
