JD's Special C-Tex was a few weeks later than
Spudakee this year. I did not have BFT or Spudatula
growing, so I cannot compare with those. Both have
excellent production in a good summer (I did not count
them, but I estimate at least 30 fruit on Spudakee,
20-30 on JD's this year, nice big beefsteaks.)

You got it TT. It's a winner and was waiting for you to post before spilling the beans as to my benefactor. As far as blacks go it's right up there with the best of them. Ami

I'd like to report that the BFT in my garden is putting on more fruit. I removed some mammoth grey stripes and beans that were shading it. It's neighbor a Willard Wynn died of sun scald, got a few ripe ones off of it first. The BFT has put on new growth, doubled in height and fullness, to get nearer the size of the rest of the indeterminates, and has put on new fruit.

I learned my lesson about shading toms, and won't do it again.
