WOW. You'll be able to give lessons to Kara and Bob! The colors are glorious and no doubt the taste is, too.

Thanks Julia but I can't come close to Bob- he said he had 400 plants. We had several at lunch including a cherry currant tomato.

2 plants survived but only a few tomatoes. I can't find enough plum tomatoes here to jar- nothing around. I have to go to New Jersey and try to round up 5 bushels otherwise it's Muir Glen canned for the winter.

It was the killer year- not the seed. Some tomatoes are watery with tough skin but the majority are OK here.
