I want:
- A small -- two-serving, maybe -- watermelon that will ripen in my climate. No, it doesn't need to be square, but ideally it would be one that can be dryfarmed. It has to taste like classic watermelon, and it has to be red, because I just can't get that watermelon vibe from yellow flesh. The best candidate that I know of for "ripen in my climate" is Blacktail Mountain. For small size and dryfarming, I don't yet have a clue.
- A cherry tomato that tastes like Sun Gold but doesn't split like Sun Gold did this year. The White Currant tomatoes that we're also growing this year rarely split, and the flavor is pretty nice, but it's not as nice as Sun Gold. (Hmm. I read that there's something called Sun Sugar, bred for exactly this goal.)
- A full size tomato that tastes like Sun Gold. But everybody wants that, right?
- A disease resistant pole snap pea. Wasn't Carol Deppe working on this? Did she make one?
- Um...
I know that there are more. When I think of them, I'll post.
This is some amazing stuff...
