Alexandria is a pretty cool alpine strawberry. It's the easiest one to grow from seed that I've tried, and germinates abindantly. The flavor is good. Critters probably eat it more than Yellow Wonder. I have several Alexandria strawberry plants in the garden—some out the front by the flowers, ...read more

I'm growing a plant from a fruit with a very large blossom scar, from the near-multi-flora Brandy Boy cross F2 plant. So, it's F3, this year. Here's a picture I took earlier today: The plant last year was quite desirable, and pretty much like the Brandy Boy F1 tomato that I grew the same ...read more

I grew this in 2016, overwatered, and it was one of the most acidic of a very non-acidic batch of tomatoes. It tasted good, and the fruits reliably each had the same a peculiar shape. I suspected it might not be true-to-type (although I'm not sure). So, I'm trying it again from TomatoFest seeds ...read more

I grew the F1 in 2017 (that F1 plant is known as MKX_A), in a shady location by a current bush. It had red, plum-shaped fruit, thicker in the middle than the two ends. They were very sweet, just like Medovaya Kaplya, but perhaps slightly more complex. The F1 was regular leaf. I'm growing the ...read more
