South/South Central Texas tomato get together - Spring '07? - Page 4

feldon30 · January 31, 2007

I'm really looking forward to meeting people and seeing the differences in all the varieties.

I think the date and location are set. I'm down to a few finalists on the name. I guess we can always change the name in the future.

Heck I'm looking forward to some 65 degree days so I can plant my tomatoes. We're having a real live winter this year.

Drats and I didn't plant but one special tomato...humm wonder if it's to late to start a few more seedlings...

Worth1 · February 4, 2007

Yawl have fun I will be in Alaska on the 16th of June.
I guess the cats dogs and my self can have a tomato gathering.
I will post a few photos.
It should be something to see.

It's a bit late. What did you plant? You might have a local nursery nearby that has some good varieties. Are you close to Houston?

It's going to be a real bummer to not have you there!

Can you go ahead and ask for June 13-16, 2008 off?

Araness · February 4, 2007

Nope, about 2 hours from Houston.

Sounds like an enviable list to me! I'm growing 6 of those.

Araness · February 4, 2007

Would have like to have some of my Wild Boar Farms seeds grown out but ordered them to late...story of my life. I'll have to try them out for Fall...lol Can we have two fest? I have much better tasting maters in fall. *G*

Feldon,
It would cost too much money to take off.
About $1200 for the weekend then there is the fact I might not get a charter to the slope for a while.
I'm on the slope now waiting for a flight out.
It is delayed due to the fog in Anchorage, my luck they will cancel it.
I think they will
Then I have to try to get on a plane on Tuesday 1:30 in the morning if I can get away from here, if there is any room.
I was going to leave last Thursday but stayed over for a few days.
I give up half my life up here and I sometimes don’t think it’s worth the money.
This has happened before and it stinks.
((((((I am not a happy camper right now.)))))))

It would cost too much to ask NOW for a day off a year and a half from now? Wow, rough job.

Worth1 · February 4, 2007

This shift work is a real drag; there are guys up here that have not had the holidays off for years.
I was really looking forward to meeting everyone but as Suze said, late June is too late and it is too early for the first part of June for others.

Besides Suze lives just up the road and You Feldon, we don’t live that far apart.
And the folks down SA way aren’t that far either.
So all said maybe we can meet at some other time and I bet we have more in common than tomatoes.(((LOL)))

An informal get-together sounds great to me.

feldon30 · February 10, 2007

We've got the name, the domain (.com), the location, and the date. Now we just need the tomatoes.

An announcement is forthcoming.

**Lee** · February 10, 2007

Feldon,

What's your .com name? Would you like me to link to
it on tomatopalooza.org?

M., received the permit/reservation for use of the pavillion on the 16th in the mail today. So we are totally locked in.

I'd like to know the website name too; didn't save it from chat.

Edit - never mind, it was easy enough to figure out. D'oh! But I'll let you post it when you're ready, and/or when there's some content.
