Manx Marvel tomatoes or will they be?

[grouie]

Thanks to Zigs who sent me seeds all the way from the UK I have had two crops of the Manx Marvel tomatoes. When the third crop did not germinate I planted a flowering plant (Tithonia) in that pot but what do I see. - a tomato plant has cropped up. Now why should I call them Manx Marvel tomatoes if at all I get the yield?. The third generation would perhaps lose its lineage. So I would want to call them Manx Indian tomatoes. What say?

Nice one Grouie

You could call them that if you want, maybe you could be the first Indian Ambassador to the Isle of Man

Seeds should grow true, tomatoes rarely cross with others in the vicinity

I am counting the chickens before they are hatched. This was a surprise for me to see that plant quite healthy too. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So the Manx Marvel is fighting back Grouie. Let's hope it crops well for you.

 

[zigs]

Lets hope so too

@Beth_B has got some seed in Michigan now

See what you started @Sheal

 

[Sheal]

Not so much me but our Canadian friend Zigs. MM's are becoming universal.

 

[zigs]

Aah, was it Penny who got it going

 

[Sheal]

Yes, she sent us the original seeds because I couldn't get hold of them here.

But it could have given me an alert early enough so that I could have kept that pot exclusively for its use. Never mind. I hope it will yield.

It looks healthy Grouie, so it's obviously happy where it is and doesn't mind sharing the pot.

The Tithonia should let it share some of the goodies in the soil (lol)
