Mine are still in pots, putting them in the ground this weekend. I have OSu and OFPS to go out.

Thank you Jayb, very interesting.

I do wish mine hadn't been late and then held back pending ground being ready, and with the three weeks of rain we have had they are still not in the ground. Chucking it down now, supposed to stop in 2 hours then sun for a week, I am not holding my breath. Doubt I will get anything from mine at this rate.

Yours look super strong though,,I am dead jealous.

Well, my OSU and OFPS have both set fruit. They're quite different. The OSU are very dark purple, aubergine dark, the OFPS so far just have a dirty blueness to the green shoulders. The plants are quite different too.

My OSU has fantastic fruit set, has set in both the dry heat and the cool damp every flower on the truss producing a fruit.

I have fruit on my OSU, still small but very very dark blue, at firt it had a star shape of green where the light was shadowed by the foliage but it is blue all over now. Mine were planted very late si I am well behind, but they are coming XX Jeannine

Used the same OSU in these photos  :)
My Blueberries are smaller with more purple/black bleeding into the flesh, I'll try and do some photos next day or so

[Jayb]

Blueberries, pretty much the same, just mine are a little smaller than OSU Blue. Glad to say inside is a regular red tomato colour.  Taste is fairly bland!

I picked my first ripe one yesterday, haven't tasted it, I will sneak a taste when I open if for seeds later today.

It is part red part black, I think because it had a leaf shading it.

Mine are the same, and i have tasted them and they are alright, i mixed them into a mixed tomato salad and it was a bit of a talking point looked really pretty also.
