Two of my babies are growing up!

Post by caliloo »

This one is showing ripply edges for the first time.... it is BIG and streaky and from seeds I purchased several years ago (unknown parentage, they were labeled "streaked mix")

This is another unknown parentage... from seeds I collected in my garden. It is 2nd year in the ground and has Orange Marmalade above it and a couple other seedlings of mine to the right

Thanks for looking

One more I forgot to include... it isn't my taste, but it might make some interesting babies. It is next to big streaky above from the same mix of seeds.

Love the streakers! I can't wait to see how the few I have progress. They were planted in late January and they're still little guys. They have a long way to go before they look like Big Streaky up there. :)
