Here's another angle... eggies going well in front.

Verry Nice!!!
greetings
Angelo :wink:

Welcome and Bon Anee to you, too, Angelo.
All good fun.
Blessings for a great tomato season.
Grub.

Welcome to our thread Angleo. Your site is great.
I emailed the chilleman Grub , so hopefully can post an entry soon. Good find man.

Grub · January 3, 2007

The email there is a bit dodgy, so if you hear nothing let me know and we can try the other addy.

You would be leading the comp, but the Pommy gits will hit back in their summer, maybe pruning and stuff.

That is, unless the aphids get them.

( No offense Michael J. :wink: )

Mantis · January 3, 2007

LOL. Yes, those pommy folk will be a bit affronted by a whitewashing on the cricket field.

I bet they are making dodgy rulers as we speak and lining up dwarfs to use in the hand shots.
They will be pussy's compared with the yanks who really know how to grow peppers

Grub · January 3, 2007

Yeh, there is a bunch of Yankees coming in late there.

Still, I think we have the climate.

Hey, I hope your record keeping of the dwarf project is up to scratch.

There will be an exam later

It's a lot of fun, actually, with some wild variations.

But I think I'm going to have to call in the tree lopper to cut your TTxNepal.

Mantis · January 3, 2007

Its next to the chook pen right? The girls will keep it in check. What size are the fruit on it.
I am getting only small red fruit on my Grumpys so far. Got two maybe three plants that I will save seed from.

Grub · January 3, 2007

TTxNepal is producing littlies, as you said. Almost ready for a taste test. Alongside the chooks, but in a pot. Still, the roots are probably feeding off them.

I'm getting some interesting large fruit on a few Sneezy, not none is ripe yet. But interesting just to see the wide range of variations in the F2s. The first one tasted pretty good for a yellow.

LOL! I thought exactly the same thing when I saw your tomato.

(and, nice patch, Grub)

Back to sowing seeds for me.

Mantis · January 4, 2007

Finally Brads Black Heart has come good. Instead of hollow dry mealy things I get this:

Full, juicy and good flavour. A bit on the tart side but some folks like that. I prefer full flavoured sweeter types so I may not grow it again.

Grub · January 4, 2007

Thanks for the pic and report Mantis. I stuffed my BBH with, I think, too much water at the seedling stage.

Hey, my so-called fall or autumn patch is a riot.

I have two of Tom's Yellow Wonders, a very strong RL plant that throws huge double flowers and is setting big fruit.

I have two Portugese Giants setting fruits, not hearts I think, just big bomb things.

I have two Cherokee Green, supposed bicolour, from Mark Korney that are crazy crazy loaded and throwing flowers everywhere.

I have one GMG RL determinate that's setting plenty and is very exciting.

And last but not least, two of Papa Vic's Sungold x Jaune Flammee F1 (I suppose) with JF-type flowers.

Lots of goodies in a great new patch. From now on this is going to be called my Experimental Patch.

Mantis · January 4, 2007

Your patch sounds great. With the water situation down here I think I will have to cut down on the tomato numbers in favour of peppers and herbs and shallots etc in the greenhouse. Growing things outside the greenhouse has been close to a waste of time this year.
Good to see you are going to take over the mantle and give the northeners some serious tomao envy

Grub · January 4, 2007

OKay, with, what, say, like, a great big animal Wes that's more red than a fire truck?

Grub · January 4, 2007

Shame about less tomatoes.
Can't you buy water?
Isn't here a rain-making course at your local library?
There must be a way.

Grub · January 4, 2007

Mantis,

Subtract 6cm off your Big Jims. Lol. Lol.

I wouldn't have told you if I knew you would be leading the world!

And we want photographic evidence.
