By his making them public, you do not have to join or use FB in anyway, other than just like any other website where you view pictures, in order to see them.

I looked through your FB album tonight and was so enthused by the way you grew the tomato this year. Great work!

If you read all of the FB posts, you had to note that I sabotaged my watering system at the end of June or so (no thanks to Gardena's German-translation manual & the hottest summer in 70 years!), but I proved, early, that my system DOES work. Gardena's products are great, but the English manuals need improvement. NEVER use the 30-minute manual watering cycle on their computer, if it overlaps the programmed cycles, the computer re-sets to factory settings (NO watering cycles!). Oh, well, next season will ROCK, no hybrids for me next year; my goal is to have a completely-controlled watering system with no wasted water, & to grow the best-tasting/producing heirlooms-only, with little-to-no disease. NOT far-fetched at all, I LOVE working on this - I'll bring a plant planted on 8/2 into the sunroom to have Thanksgiving 'maters!

That's quite a setup you've got there. Looks like you got some big tomatoes out of it as well. How did they taste? What brought you to do that elaborate growing system?

Thanks for posting pictures!
