I actually liked this one. I started a new thread called vintage Canadian tomatoes. Sorry for hijacking your thread, it all started because I think this would do well in your pots and it's done very well here on the Island this summer so it's adaptable and tough. Let me know if you'd like some seed. KarenO |
no problem at all Karen .....We all come by our Tomatoes ..
honestly .....LOL
I have Starfire Improved seeds as well
I guess I did grow it in Campbell River in 10 gallon ..
but I had better luck somehow with those standard determinates mentioned
on the prairies than on the cool years on the wet coast ...
My Siberian cool ones did better under those conditions ...
I can see how Starfire would have done well this particular year ...
I will have to check out your Canadian vintage site ......
