I am so sad to hear that it is the second year in the row that you've had bad summers for tomato growing - this is so frustrating

****

Actually it's the THIRD year in a row b'c 2008 and 2009 were cold and rainy but at least I got some fruits and for those two years bcday I was doing seed production for me and had much better luck than I did with fruit production on all the varieties I sent to her.

This year it's been the high heat and humidity that has been the problem here as well as for the folks in NC and KY who graciously offered to do seed production for me.

Not that I remember datres or anything, but several years ago the first killing frost here was on September 7 and the very next year it was on September 9. I can only hope for later frosts this year.

One of the color differenences I saw with Sungold F1 vs BSS is that BSS is orange from the beginning while Sungold F1 fruits start out yellow and then turn to orange.
