Carolyn, I don't know if you ever visit this thread, but I have a question if you do. It's specific to some phrasing in your book, so I didn't really want to start a new thread for it. When you say that a variety has "blemish-free" fruits, does that include BER? I've been carefully reading through to try to find varieties that are less likely to have BER, so have been particularly watching for those where you say you've never seen BER, but am also looking at others where you describe them as blemish-free. I'm totally fine with cracking or rough shoulders. I've definitely had better luck this year than last, but I do have that extra year of experience under my belt now too.
At the moment, I'm restricted to containers. We cut a couple of trees down in the back and there's enough light back there now that my poor shade garden is suffering, so I may be able to have a few tomatoes in ground next year. I so appreciate your book and your help on the forums. Thank you!
