Mine have done quite well.

Had never heard of the nano version.

Looks interesting.

My plants are #2 style of San Marzano. Look like a lumpy pear tomato with squarish sides.

Excellent flavor. Wife loves them fresh and in salsa. I have made up several batches of tomato sauce that I froze.

Sounds like a plan. My wife has one of those Ninja blenders and she mixes some of the most God Offal concoctions unimaginable!!!

I hadn't either, until I got some nano seed in a swap. Tatiana's database shows a number of different San Marzano variants out there...who knew?

Even with the blight, you are having a banner year compared to us. Thanks for the pics.

No, but I did purchase a packet of seeds, so I will be doing so. Hubby’s tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets last year had issues with blossom end rot.

I told him to try some Epsom salts and bone meal in the amounts listed on the package directions, and it worked.

The only lids I have ever used are Ball and Kerr. Never had any failures with them. They can not be reused. However, I bought a huge number of them at an end of the year sale, so I don’t have to worry for a long time about getting lids.

This new computer and printer are haunted. They do weird things and make strange noises. And no books or owners manuals came with them. It’s all on line, and half the time, I can’t even get the help features to work. ‘sigh’

Hi greeneyes! We FINALLY got ours last night. I wish we’d get some more. lol We had reservations to go to the coast yesterday, but luckily, DH was able to change his vacay day to next Friday. If it rains again, we’re going anyway. (There’s still fish to be eaten & my most favorite nursery in the whole world is there, Turner’s) The skeeters are going to carry us off, but the beach ought to be like driving on a paved road.

Hope y’all - & everyone, have a good weekend!
God Bless
