I don't have exact numbers on germination but it was very good. I ended up with probably 1000 seedlings. I repotted around 550 of the strongest ones and gave 60 seedlings to the Boy Scouts so they can learn to repot and grow their own garden.
I put 65 of of the plants in my garden; donated 100 to the community farm. The produce from them will go to local food kitchens. Next year the community garden will take around 200 plants. The remainder of repots went to family, friends, neighbors and strangers.
My garden is looking good so far. Weather has been pretty good . Looking forward to a great season!
Hope all of our luck is good this season.

Very nice summary!! I have one Cuostralee, with about 8 fruit set on it. It is sitting right next to several Omar's Lebanese, which are absolutely enormous plants! The Cuostralee looks a little more spindly and sparse with the vegetation- is this what you've seen? More delicate...

I don't see the vegetation as being sparse at all. In fact My first impression would be that there was a great deal of foliage. Really I think the growth habit was quite similar to my Omar's Lebanese.
