I hope I'm not upsetting the mods or breaking any rules.
I'm keeping this separate from the heirlooms. A participant has purchased 1,000 Momotaro F1 seeds.They would like to get enough of their purchase price back to again purchase F1 varieties for next year. So, I have to break my promise of no required fee. The cost will be $1 for 10 seeds.

If there is a response to having a group purchase and split up of more hybrids (possibly early January), Momotaro likely will again be offered.


Free hybrid varieties, 10 seeds/pack...

Big Beef F1 '17 (12 packs)
Big Brandy F1 '17 (11)
Brandy Boy F1 '17 (17)
Chef's Choice Orange 'F1 17 (10)
Front Runner F1 '19 (3)
Genuwine F1 '17 (10)
Glory F1 unknown age (2), described as 11 oz, Brandywine-like fruit, with taste of a heirloom, 75 DTM

I will also be sending these hybrid seeds purchased in the spring of 2020, 10 seeds per pack. If you would like some just put them on your Wish List.

Goliath F1
Big Beef F1
Better Boy F1
Jet Star F1
Beefmaster F1
Steak Sandwich F1

I'll be editing the number of hybrid packs available (in the 1st post) as requests come in. For starters, someone sent in $5 for a sample of all hybrid varieties.

These are also swimming in the pond and are for the asking:

Parks Whopper F1
Porterhouse F1

Is the chum working?

I would like everyone to know that there was one person here on the forum that told me from looking at my pictures that what I was growing as Big Beef was NOT Big Beef. These are the seeds that I am sending in. They do fit the description and photo of Big Beef from Osborne Seed. I don't know if they are Big Beef or not because I am not usually a hybrid grower. So just a heads up to let you all know that they may not be what they say that they are.

This is what I grew as Big Beef

Yea, I see what you are saying. Even on the listing in the link they look a bit small. No expert here, but I have grown them for the last few years.

Only a one time grower of Big Beef, mine were all 8 to 14 ounces with most 10 to 12 ounces.
