Kellogg's Supper

I saved seeds from Kellogg's breakfast plants last year,nice big orange tomatoes.
They were growing next to my july 5th tomatoes and other red ones.
Every tomato every plant has red tomatoes instead of orange.
90 day RL,but I wasn't expecting red tomatoes.
The biggest tomatoes in the patch,16-18 oz but red.

Sounds like a definite cross, maybe call it Slugworth's Supper instead of Kellogg's to totally separate from its parent if you get it to a release point

I gave plants to the pizza guy.
I will have to see how he made out.
Will trade plants for food.

That is the best plant in the garden,once the monsoon ends I will go outside and take pictures of the jungle.
77 degrees outside
100% humidity.
You sweat just breathing.
The same growth habit as the original kellogg's plant-wise

Pretty mater. Sweating keeps the skin young and supple. Humans came from the warm tropics, we are designed to sweat.

I must have a design flaw.
I hate temps over 70f

I suffer from a similar design change, from the original base model.
Cover me up with hide and let me lay in the snow cover grass, breathing cool dry air.

Oh, I know how it is up there. I lived there for years. Most people up north, the sweaty heat makes them miserable. People here complain they are freezing to death when it’s 45 degrees out. I say bring it all on, the hot and the cold. People are certainly more adaptable than the tomatoes.

With cold you can always put on more clothes and put another log on the fire.
With this heat you can only strip down to flesh and wear 2 masks,one high one low.
Plus the blood pressure meds say no sweating please,not even supposed to think about sweating.
I get cramps so bad in my hands I can't hold a fork.
Have to eat like those pie eating contests no hands.
Messy.

I think of the poor women in germany that were going topless in public last year during their heatwave.
Rich ones too.
Every which way but loose.

I may have to pick green,depends on how Henri behaves.
I lost a lot last year to the august hurricane.
Salt spray damage,tomatoes are already salted when you go to eat them.
I have replacement plants indoors if tragedy strikes.I can re-plant.

So how does the new cross taste? Most important attribute of all! Does it taste at all like KB?

I think it tastes like KB just red.
I had a BLT for lunch and it covered the Calise roll,you would say full coverage.
I think faster to ripen than KB.
I planted the 1st week of june,so actually very good for our growing conditions.
Was bigger than mortgage lifter.
I tried to adjust the plant to take pics and dislodged 2 green tomatoes.
It may be determinate,I will have to examine tomorrow.That would be the only flaw.
The july 5th plants are determinate,what it crossed with.
A grow out of many years on the 4th of july hybrid.Those were PL.
The 4th of july hybrid reverted back to one of the parents and I grow that every year
because it is bigger than the 4th of july hybrid tomatoes.

If determinate I clone to bypass that flaw.
I may squeeze extra mileage out of the plants that way.
Aphid problem lately,that may be a problem.
I had to put some clones outside to give the lady bugs something to eat.

Actually,it was a dismal tomato year for me considering I had 30 different varieties.
Good thing I had 120 plants in the ground or I would have forgotten what tomatoes taste like.
The only ones still chugging along are this one,sungold in cement blocks,and husky red cherry in the ground.
Very few varieties made it to my mouth.
The worst were store bought plants I bought early to get a head start.
They got diseased right off the bat.Like us.

I took cuttings to clone before henri hits
I picked a 15oz blushing one to ripen indoors.

slugworth, this is an F1 so it is naturally red because red is dominant the other colors. So you want to save lots of seeds of the F2 and select the tomato you want. You could make a determinate KB type. Earlier. Chi-ching! I say since I can't even imagine wasting space on another late large tomato.... I'd love to see it happen. Or whatever, pick your best in F2 and keep growing as many as you can every year until you find the one or ones that are your best keepers.
I'm with Rockoe in the design change, no longer tolerate heat very well. If it just made me sweat a lot, that'd be fine. But maybe like moose, I'm losing that ability to self cool with a rapid drip... I think my best moment this summer was waking up to find a cool breeze blowing over my face... aaaaah :)
