Saved seed from 2021 just labeled BB
Could be big brandy or bloody butcher.
Judging from the size of the seeds I would say big brandy.
I will have to remember to provide more data next time I save seeds and not ASSume I am going to grow them next year.

Could it be Bumblebee and you thought you'd remember the colour?

senior moment with clones also.
I tried to salvage plants by cloning and the outdoor inventory I forgot to label some how.
If they live, I will have to take a wait and see attitude .
Indoor clones I know what they are.

I think I said that in a thread a few years back, BB must be the most used initial for tomatoes. There are a whole bunch of possibilities.

I bought big brandy from agway in 2021.
my brandywine hybrid experiment year
So I am leaning towards that choice.
bloody butcher was labelled properly because the saved seeds were from a tomato smaller than normal.

The big brandy is RL,so if some of the seeds pop up up PL I will know they are big brandy.
I will keep them segregated from the labelled bloody butcher during the germination process.
Saved seeds from the brandywine hybrids I weed out the PL when they are 1st detectable as such.

We all do that, found seeds in the box marked orange chilli, now they could be jalapeno or they could be re-bagged seeds from a friend's father, I now print the labels and add a pic of the fruit saved the seeds from

I did it again with a tomato this time.
I got a tomato from a neighbor the same time I picked one of mine.
I just wrote my initials on mine instead of what it was.
Fun getting senile.
