Those two seedlings look like they are F-2 P-20 Blue x Woolly Green Zebra with the one plants showing a fair amount of woolliness. I will be saving seed from such plants trying to double up on the woolly traits and blue traits and anything else interesting.

I have sown some seeds of P20/Green Zebra and they have become nice and big plants with the first flowers just a few days away.
But I do not remember what the fruit will look like?
Also have some very good looking Skykomish and Sweet106/P20...

P-20 is likely the best clone from the OSU Blue collections, but it doesn't matter...the F-2 seed you have of the P-20 x Green Zebra will be stand alone lines...the recombination of several genes are the important thing.
I just took a look at a group of my plants on the porch of the same family as yours and taking a mental note of how the cold nights with frost on the roof is affecting the plants...hardening off with such temps is sure making the blue trait show up in the stems and leaves. These very plants are going to a unheated greenhouse potting up to one gallon size and larger.

My Green Z / OSU plants are doing well. For anyone who doubts the benefits of seaweed, I had a truckload piled in the corner of the garden for almost a year (it washes up on the beaches by the ton here, mostly in the winter). Grass and other weeds grew up into it and eventually I broke the party up and spread it around somewhat, not as far and wide as I shoudl have. A such, the row my tomatoes are in vary with how much the received from right to left. The 2 plants furthest left are about twice the size of the ones on the right. Fluke?
Well the next row over I have pumpkins. The first in that row are Jaspee de Vendee. The first 2 plants are 8 ft long, the other 3 next to it about 2 ft. One of the big plants has a fruit on it already...
seaweed is the real deal.
Now I just need another 20 truck loads...

One plant produces a yellowy/green tomato, no stripes.
Another produced the green zebra but I don't see any blue....I have another that looks green and white instead of green an yellow but maybe just not ripe yet...
Without uploading to another site and linking,how to I embed images directly here?

I need to learn this process too. I get this message everytime I try to post a picture...... I have downloaded some other programs that were supposed to help me on making a folder of 1024 KB pictures. I am going to have to have someone sit down with me by the computer and walk me through it, no amount of directions have seemed to help. Otherwise I have to go to my forum and right click on the mouse and select view image, then copy the link on the top of the page such as this one from my Tater Mater Blog.. 1.bp.blogspot.com/_wz6KH09KtYk/TAlepYVgKFI/AAAAAAAAA9w/aJdVCqmkbyU/s320/DSCN6420.JPGBut I would rather have the image right on the message instead of yet another link. Thanks for letting me know about the colors, any of which could be important on those recombination. You probably needed a dozen or more plants to find the blue zebra types. Tom |

ok. only 5 came up this time. but it so hot now i bet the next 9 will all come up in days.
Do you have Microsoft Paint?
It generally comes installed.
It is important to do this on a copy of the image otherwise you will lose the full resolution picture.
if so, find the image file on your PC.
Right click.
Select "open with" and then "Paint".
In Paint, hit control key (Ctrl) and W.
Change to two numbers to something lower than 100, I usually go with 15 or 20 in each box or posting online. (That is a percentage of full size).

I looked on my PC and could not find the Microsoft Paint.
The photo that KC kindly inserted here is from my blog page. It shows a collection of potato berries and one of them is blue/purple like the P20 tomato. I will have to remember to use that one in more potato breeding to infuse the genes into a wider range of potato clones.
In a few days and weeks to come I will be looking at lots of P20/GZ F-2 lines and backcrosses for colors.

I have a working chapter on blue tomato breeding with stripes in the editing stage. Hope to offer it up here as soon as a few more tomatoes ripen to support observations.
