Hi Andy,

Our purple kohlibri is coming in real nicely. I'm also growing kossak for the
first time but we haven't started harvesting it yet. I'll let you know if we
run into any cracking. I will say it hasn't sized up the way we'd
anticipated. They're nice looking "bulbs" but nothing enormous like
described. I think the purple is as big and a little better looking at this
point.

We'll see how they turn out though. And I'll keep you posted if we run into
cracking.
