Doreen--
When I spoke of the currant tomatoes, I was responding to:
"I have been looking for Texas Wild tomato seed since this summer with no
success. The only source I could find was Seed-Savers but you have to become
a member. I have Matthew's Wild Cherry and Red Currant started."
In this excerpt, robroy seems to distinguish between the Texas Wild and the
Red Currant. I was speaking of the latter in terms of cross pollination
problems, not of Texas Wild. If they are one and the same, it wasn't clear,
to say the least! But I thought I was clear in speaking specifically of
currant tomatoes. Yet you wrote:
"Texas Wild does NOT cross with other tomatoes. It is not like currant
types--it's a different family." Puzzling, n'est pas?
