Grew them 2 or 3 years back when they first came out with them. Wasn't at all impressed, sorry. Low production, hard fruit, small, and no significant taste. I'd seriously encourage you to pass on them and when they came up for discussion on the Growing Tomatoes forum the response was pretty much the same. Not available in stores AFAIK - strictly a catalog offer. JMO Dave

Catfish are scaleless and he may be showing signs of burning from the meds you have used. Scaleless fish are very sensitive to meds and you can burn them if you are not careful. I would give him a dose of stress coat to sooth the skin and just let him be in some clean water and see if that does not heal the welts.

Thank you everyone for such nice compliments :) I am sure everyone will be having a plumie bonanza this summer. When the heat and sun gets really going next month I am sure there will be tons of other varieties blooming. BeachP, OMG @ 6:00am? Amazing!! I am not a heat person. In college I lived in Woodland Hills, it would get temps of 114 during the day in summer then drop to maybe 90 or so at night... I can only imagine your electric bill. Thanks again everyone Cheers

Was the pale red-white mother a single? And thank you for all your documentation hitherto. And, there is one of your creations the documentation of which I am carrying deep in my mind, and I absolutely must dig it out again and ask you whether you still have the specimen alive. Kindest regards from Germany!
