My FOJ plants are struggling right now to stay alive. If they live through the hot summer as they usually do, they will be great fall tomatoes. My MD is still very healthy and blooming. It does seem to be the reverse of what happens most years. I would like to keep the MD alive through the summer and see how it performs in the fall. Because it was planted pretty late, it was put in semi shade, in a container; under a large tree. I'm sure the cooler conditions away from direct sun has helped it survive.

The really interesting thing about the MD is the fact that it took about twelve weeks for the seed to germinate. All of the seeds were planted in the cells about Christmas time of last year. It germinated near the end of March of this year.
