I've been growing these beefsteak for 3 seasons now. They came from 2 plants randomly given to us (which is in itself an interesting story) I suspect a french beefsteak. They started as a bright red beefsteak with the typical catfacing, but after 3 seasons they have crossed with my Black Krim, so now they have geeen shoulders, slightly different shape, a lot less catfacing. 3 if my 15 seedlings were indeterminate also, but I can catch that early. Hopefully they'll stay determinate (I grow them in lower beds). The BN Beefsteak.

Interesting! Have you noticed a change in taste?
Sorry, the app posted this twice for some reason, so I deleted the duplicate.
Very nice
looks like you need to do another backcross
Oooo! So, pretty, what did you name it?
The color on them is nice! Love those green shoulders with the deep red. I’ve never tried intentionally crossing varieties, but this makes me want to experiment next season.
