      Those are producing good volumes for heirlooms.

        I grew them one year, but Texas doesn't work for them. Too alkaline, too hot, and too dry. Someone on here sent me the seeds, I forget who, but thank you again.

        At Mandola's Market today, they had SM seeds in Italian packaging. It was tempting, but it will have to wait for a greenhouse and start them early.

          Tscar,

          I would be glad to send you some seeds for 2015. I am planning on harvesting seeds again this fall. I have offered them to people on the forum for several years. SC and Gulf seem to have some the best success from their Utah roots.

            I'm not sure why they are producing so well, it's been very hot and no rain. I've had to water twice a day and use rot stop a couple times. The good news is that I've only picked off 2 of those gross horn worms, and no more have reappeared.

            Also, we planed collards, seen in from of the tomatoes, as sort of a sacrificial plant. It seems to have worked...none of the tomatoes have been eaten by caterpillars...unlike the collards. I guess southern bugs prefer southern vegetables.

              Just to wrap this thread up, here are the final details. All the trim installed on the gable is cedar. I plan to let it weather like the shingles, and when I'm satisfied with the color, sealer will be applied. The only thing I may do is add another chimney cap on top of the existing one, to extend the drip line and some detail.

              Anyway, thanks to all that have commented on this thread, 'liked' my posts and pictures, and continued productive dialogue. I wish the best to all of you and whatever you choose to build.

              For whatever reason, I can only upload one pic at a time from my iPad. So here's the final set.

              Stucco chimney, flashing, cedar and granite ridge cap, shingles.

                The cedar trim jumps out right now, but when it weathers it should blend better.

                    SC,

                    It has been a fun journey. Glad to see you post once in a while. How's the SM doing?

                      Hey Russ,

                      SM have done well, in spite of the heat. I'm sure they would have done better if i had done a better job with watering and soil amendment. I'll only put in about 6 plants next year, and just use them for tomato/basil/motz salad or something....I'd rather just buy the canned variety for sauce, because it's easier. As for taste, they are good but not any better than canned.
