No Tiggers in this lot, Imp! I rushed into the kitchen to have a look- those are "not ripe yet" lines running down the sides of that tomato- she needs a few more days for a full expression of color!

I was supposed to come back and try to remember what was in that post I lost, there was lots about Omar, and what he told me about himself etc. But the most important issue right now is this. Neither Samir nor Omar (if he wants to) are going to get into Tville any time soon,and here's why. I have a list of 3 persons who contacted me who were having trouble getting registered. One said he'd waited a month, another said he got a message back saying no new registrations,and the third person actually tried to e-mail Town Hall. A 4th person was one I knew very well,he had a superb site based in MA, where he sold seeds.He decided it was time to retire, and did so to FL.I found him at another site and I gave him my em addy and we were so glad to be back in contact. He said he had been a Tville member but his em addy here was one from his previous site so he went ahead and reregistered,and still nothing. I emed Mischka with his personal addy,since i had told the first three I'd get back to them, but couldn't do that until I got some answers back from M. No answers back yet and it's been quite a while,I was concerned about M since no new Town Hall folk in many weeks. I've done all I can do for now. Carolyn

That is NOT good! Some of the best varieties and knowledge come from our international folks on here! I hope it's not a sign of things to come...
Thank you for contacting him. Darin |

Two sold seeds,I paid for them gladly but I traded with two others,one dropped out,he also sold seeds to others,and same for another person as well. So I treasure all the new ones I still get from those who are still active. One person really wanted to trade with me but when it got down to doing something she said that most she had on her list were no longer available and suggested we wait until next year. I hope she knows how old I am but I haven't yet gotten to the point where I eat dessert first. Carolyn

Dessert can be the best part at times...or for an ice cream dinner, the only part! Edit: Now you know why I do not have dessert often! Oddly, many sweets don't attract me as it did as a youngster, but I still have a fondness for pineapple upside down cake if the topping is thick, and almost black devil's food chocolate cake with buttercream icing. And, of course, with the heat here, some ice creams. Last edited by imp; July 23, 2017 at 10:44 PM. |

Oh, I can't wait for one of my own! Today we got a stake in the ground to supplement the cage DLH is outgrowing.

Awesome Nan! My lesson this year is- next year, do not pinch suckers and let this plant bush out in the cage! I cut mine at 12 feet, and it still collapsed. It was the most vigorous plant I've ever had!!!

There's only one big one on the plant; the rest are about 4-8 oz. I guess she's going for quantity over size. BTW, my hearts are pretty well-shaped; not many blunt. Nan |

Here are a few examples of DLH grown by our company's president. The example in the front middle is a double- I have not seen doubles on any of my DLH plants thus far. Three examples in front averaged 1.2 lbs. The other examples are Better Boys, and various peppers.
