Yes, I know, and you might have seen on another thread I explained why I was growing these, and described the variation in the offspring. I was merely commenting that I too had thicker skinned tomatoes than I normally did, but that because of the origin I didn't know whether this was the variety (as in the variety of the offspring, named variety or otherwise) or the growing conditions.
