Fixed a couple mistakes and added the 2 missing La Rue that missed the early tomato cutoff date.

Here is another one for you to fix. My 7.15 grown in 2020 was not grown from the 9.65. It was grown from the 6.55 Marley. Check the GPC 2020 tomato results.

Scott you are putting a lot of time and hard work in for all tomato growers. Thank you. Keeping the genetics updated for tomatoes is going to be a constant job. There will be a lot of holes in your records because of the early tomato contest rules. So far in 2021 season I have sent out over 2200 seeds to clubs and growers that will not show up on the GPC results. I did not official weigh any 2021 tomatoes that were less than 6 pounds. I official weighed a 6.25 that will not show up on the GPC records. It was grown from my 8.71. I have sent out 300 seeds from that tomato. How many will be planted is hard to tell. If you find more of my tomato seeds missing from the records just get in touch with me so I can help fill in the holes. Best of luck

I dunno what seems like more work, the genetic chart or packing up 2200 seeds. Either way. Much appreciate your guys work for the hobby!…don’t want to confuse things any further but the infamous 5.71 should read 5.71 lambchop, the 5.75, 8.22, 6.55, 7.05 9.65 ..maybe a couple others?, should be listed as “porkchop”. ( Scott Marley was here before me..he prolly has genetics on the big zac side). I don’t care personally, but if you want to be a stickler.?..Pretty neat to see what the seeds do season over season. Keep rockin and best of luck on taking down the Colorado record!!

This is all great info. You will forgive me if I'm a little confused. Porkchop and Marley are separate people? I know lambchop is the (wife?). I am going for accuracy and the more info I get the better it is for everyone using the chart. My email is The_scott_luers (at) yahoo (dot) com. You can contact me there anytime to discuss changes. On here is fine also.

I am only doing the tree for the tomatoes +7lbs. If a smaller tomato is in the linage that is the only way it gets placed on the tree.

There are 2. One is in NY(porkchop aka bacon butt) and SteveM in Ct

Yup.. porkchop is porkchop. Marley is Scott Marley, my cousin…I try to label everything porkchop but sometimes it gets labeled as Marley when turned over to the powers that be. Scott loves it because he gets lots of seed requests. I don’t think he’s hit 7 pounds yet though. This could be his year.

Altitude, SteveM is a not him.

I reread the posts from the tomatoes, jack. I must of just jumped to the conclusion (incorrectly) they were after the early tomato date. My apologies. I look at auction results or picture posts of the seed packets to find some linages since some are not registered with the GPC. It is a very time consuming detective hunt, but one I hope helps tomato growers in the future. I appreciate letting me know correction on the tree where there are errors.

I have already fixed the 7.15 in this revision.
