Regret to say that, in spite of my self assurance, I later concluded it was a seed labeling error! These things can and do happen when you're saving a lot of varieties' seeds. One way it can happen is if the fruit from two plants looks similar - then the carefully labeled jar or dish was mismatched in the first place - probably the source of my error.

This has happened to me several times, now I carry a magic marker and mark every tomato and pepper as I harvest them. I use the cheap vinyl window blinds for markers and use a paint pen. Just the fact of starting something new can be intimidating to a new gardener, and sometimes to an old one. I'm speaking mainly for myself here. Been doing this for many years and learn something new every year, usually from mistakes that I have made.

Gave a friend several different plants one year. He called and said that one was too ugly to eat so I went and collected several. I grow them every year and have no idea what they are. Good tasting pink PL tomato. I saved them as: John's Ugly PL.

Thank you very much Shule as always, by the way I sent you a private message.

Did I already respond to the message? I don't see it in my inbox. I wonder if my inbox is full.
