Some photos of the tomato plant "SMFL", my third year of cultivation, the quantity of flowers is somewhat impressive, it looks like a broccoli, and super productive, I have never seen a tomato plant with so many flowers and tomatoes together. .. I love it

Nico, I can't recall what SMFL stands for, is there a full name for it? Yes it does look like a broccoli, just amazing amount of flowers!

Hello friend Whwoz, I want to understand your question, but the translator often fails in certain words, I suppose you mean what production I have of the plant, it is an incredible plant, my seed source was a friend from Niagara who through Tville sent them to me, neither did he, he really knew where they came from or much information about it, but I think it is a certain plant and the success of flower setting is incredible, and also tomatoes larger than the typical cherry, almost all flowers produce tomatoes, the incredible thing. I will keep sending photos. Cheers

Hello ddsack, according to my seed source "S.M.F.L !, it means super multiflora, I hope the translator behaves well

[ddsack]

That makes sense, Nico! Thanks!

I love the look of your Stick cross! Gorgeous.
Glad to hear you are well and overall getting better so the kids can go out again soon. Thank goodness for gardens, too.

To this day, I am totally surprised by the precocity of the "sweet success" cucumber, I have never consumed cucumbers at this time, I think it only takes a few days for consumption, I have a terrible desire to try it, I think I will love it since I have read very good comments about said cucumber.

I couldn't wait to try that cucumber either! I know you will love it.

[Nico]

Thanks ddsack. Does anyone know when is the sweet spot of this cucumber? Is it when the thorns are smoothed? Thank you

[Nico]

In the end I could not resist, I give it a note ten, a real delight.

Those look great! This is the first year I’ve grown cucumbers and it won’t be the last, they are fun and productive. So much better than store bought ones.

We like them with a little dill leaf, sour cream and a touch of vinegar. Mix those ingredients together and a sprinkle of sea salt on the sliced cucumber, truly delicious.

I just like it with a little sea salt accompanied by a good extra virgin olive oil, the tomatoes are also the same

Yes, simple is often the best way. I like tomatoes with good olive oil or even with just a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. I suppose you have a favorite olive oil, my idea is that it must be from España! Olive oils have flavor profiles of their own, that’s for sure. I’m about to open a bottle of unfiltered Asaro Sicilian Extra Virgin Oil Olive, just in time for fresh tomatoes.

Karstopography, currently living in Jaén, Jaén is the largest olive oil producing region in Spain and in the world, itself producing more oil than the second largest producing country in the world, Italy. The Province of Jaén with 550,000 hectares of olive groves and more than 66 million olive trees generates 20% of the world production of Olive Oil. For my taste the best oil is early harvest olive oil, it is more expensive, but it is a real delight, is the juice extracted from the youngest olives, normally green or in veraison, during the months of October and November depending on the area. A green oil correctly extracted from young olives, apart from being somewhat more bitter and spicy, has wonderful smells, flavors and nuances, which usually remind us of other fruits, vegetables and plants such as fresh grass, fennel, green banana, the artichoke, the tomato plant, the fig tree, the almond, etc. It is what is known in professional jargon as fruity, a fundamental attribute of the best olive oils, and which decisively influences its assessment in recognized competitions.
