Thanks for all of the positive messages, both public and private. I
have 3 packets of seeds left and have mailed about 25 including one
to my mother in upstate New York. She hasn't grown a tomato since
WW II when she had a victory garden, but is going to try it.
For those of you who will be growing it, the Seminis checklist is
pretty simple: Rate it from 1 to 5 (5 is better) and add any
comments. I'm particularly interested in days from transplant to
first harvest in different growing zones. The advertisement says 80
days which I think puts it on the mid to late cusp. Since most
gardeners anywhere in the world can get through an 80 day growing
season, (Antartica excepted), my Scandinavian customers should be
very happy.
Please let us all know how it does for you. I expect most of the
larger retail seed companies to be offering it next year and as many
have mentioned, highly touted varieties don't always grow as
advertised.
My wife says that in the 25 years we've been married, she's never
called me the "Terminator", but she really likes "Messiah"<VBG>.
