It rains every day (40 mm yesterday) and my tomatoes crack a lot. This also applies to Start F1, but this variety is usually able to heal the crack and does not mold like other tomatoes. Every loss is sorry, but without a roof there is nothing to do against excessive rain.

We have had drought here since the 3rd week in June, and so it requires irrigation to get anything to grow. I am not the best at regular watering so this year my Start S f1 are the smallest they have ever been. Same great flavour though.

I sent to Tormato 53 a bag of Start F1 seeds to swap MMMM. There are 20 seeds in each bag. I will send him another 26 bags, each containing ten seeds.

That is very kind of you to offer but Tormato is sending me some, such wonderful tomato growing people are!Yes we're still at the same place and hope to be for a long time as my wife and I built the house from the ground up,took us 2.5 yrs to do since I still kept my business going while building ,since I made all the flooring and T&G ceiling and doors,cabinets furniture etc etc . Here's a couple pictures just for something different than tomatoes to look at.

Yes, elegant work! I have nothing but admiration and envy for people who have the skills and talent to do their own building or remodeling. I would not want to leave that house either!
