Boronia F-7 was 5.5 ounces. It was very good, even though grown in the winter. The wife especially thought the taste was excellent. Tastywine was mushy, first fruit. I am waiting for the next fruit to see what the taste is like.

Color was great. Waiting for the next couple to see how they taste. They are not split and look good.

I am definitely still doing the bokashi. There is a facebook page that I read also. Its Bokashiworld. I am not using my bokashi yet in the swc's because this is my first year, and wanted to try it straight first. I am going to see about incorporating it in my next grow.

Cran-Not really with regard to tomatoes-I have the same number of containers in my greenhouse. I did add the city pickers for my garlic and some cutting greens.

Photo of some of the dwarves in progress with the Dwarf Project. From left to right, top Tastywine Black F-2, then Chocolate Lightning F-5. The bottom two are on the left Wherokowhai F8 and then Peppermint Stripes F-5. They are not completely ripe yet, wanted to pick these because its supposed to get much colder here tonight.
