Tomatoes. these are grown from seed that originally came from Joseph Lofthouse before someone sent them to me. They are part of his promiscuously pollinating tomato breeding project.

Unfortunately i had bad germination with only Q12 growing and one each of S37 and S20.

The ones that are on the left and the right are other ones that i stuck in later.

I listened to a podcast where Joseph said that he crossed russian solanum lycopersicum varieties whose flowers attracted bumblebees with many different wild tomato species.

His goal is an outbreeding, diverse tomato landrace if I understand correctly.

Some of the plants he grew tasted of seafood and some grew sprawling along the soil like pumpkins while others stood erect like raspberry bushes and didn't require staking.

Far out stuff. I am looking forward to tasting them and to see already how much diversity there is in Q12.
