Results from My Garden:

2013: new trial for this year; purchased one seedling from Cross Country Nurseries; no wilt (yay!) no curly top virus, maybe some powdery mildew (Leveillula), and a few got some blossom end rot, oh and some scarring or zippering from the flower; not very productive until the end of the season – had to harvest most of the tomatoes green in late November.
