=================================================

There was some cracking but nowhere near as much as SG. We had drought conditions in the Northeast so I had the luxury of letting them get very ripe on the vine. If it rained as it usually does during the summer months there may have been more cracking. SG is a much taller plant which seems to offset the cracking issue in terms of yield.

One other observation....and this might sound strange...SG has this last second burst of flavor...Nectar does not. Steady sweet is how I would describe Nectar. I was pleasantly surprised.
