Way back in 2010, I grew some seeds for Caseys Pure Yellow Tomato for Jeff Casey in Canada, with average results, seed was saved but Lomatia ended up with it as we didn't like them. I originally grew five plants in big 24inch pots and when they finished, I used the mix for chillies.
The story continues in 2012/13 with the F1 seeds being grown, but somehow it produced Potato Leaf plant that threw a red heart tomato as F2.
The plant was unstable as I could see with what I'd got so far, so in 2013/14 I grew the F2 seeds, but this is where it went belly up as I got a pointy yellow Plum as F3
I found some original F1 seeds today and with room on the heat mat, put down a few seeds as in theory, they should throw a red heart if they germinate, if not, nothing lost. The seed save was in 02/2012 so not the most ideal seed age to be doing grow outs on..
The photos show how good it looked as F1.
The F2 ended up being hearts.
To cut a long story short, in 2011/12, I had a Regular Leaf self sown tomato come up in one of the pots sometime later, so I grew it and got a beautiful red beefsteak which I later named Red Velvet, but after receiving information from Tania (Tatianas Tomato Base) and Carolyn Male that the name was already in use in one form or another, so I renamed it 'Village Red', after where I lived at the time. (Junction Village). I saved seeds 02/12 from a Regular Leaf plant.

Now this it where it went belly up, I got a pointy plum, that was yellow as my F3's, so thinking I got it wrong, I'm hoping to grow seeds from F1 again.
