We had a really dry summer, half of my patches grew close to nothing to harvest,
lots of farmers had serious problems...

2018 has been a a blessed and lucky tomato growing year to me
top 10 average from my patch was 4.83 lbs
got 5 fruits of more than 5 lbs
beaten my personal best twice
set a new German record
got two netries in the GPC top 20 (so far)
It will be hard to beat this in 2019
