As for your Credits section, you might want to note that my book, unknown by me beforehand, went out of print this past Spring. However, if anyone goes to the sticky in this Forum where there's a thread about my book you'll see that the prices now range for what they should be to upwards of several hundreds of dollars at different sites.

As for me, I still have four unused copies here at home and am witing until the price gets up to maybe, oh $1,000/book, and the I'll consider selling.

Oh Carolyn did you go to Amazon lately....
I see someone who selling your book for $999.99

I hear worm casting much better than regular compost but touching the worm with bare hand its really struggle for me.... I hope my dad willing to do this dirty work .

Ah yes, right you are!
Sign those things Carolyn, and who knows how much you can get
Best buy up some more copies, and "enhance" your retirement.

I'm just catching up with the last few posts here now.

So Tam, you want me to autograph my four own last remaining new books and then also said you want me to go out and spend $1000 on others with the expectation that those will also increase in value?

In your dreams, in your dreams.

I have to also give a nod to Slankards since it is not only a very large tomato, but a very tasy one as well. Stingy on production here in the South but well worth a spot in the garden.

Have you seen Golden Dome? It is another one that without any effort on my part made some really big tomatoes.

Make sure you click the picture. There are 4 more pics on the page and one of them is a photo of a really big one.

No, no, I was looking out for your well-being
See, you said you'd consider selling your four when the price reached $1000. Well, at only a penny short, I bet if you autographed them you'd be golden!
Also, as there are still some available at the base price, if you stocked up on some, then autographed them and got that 999.99 - see, you'd be all set .
I'll be your agent

Seriously, that is some price! I am of course just kidding around (mostly) but I think that book will be valuable. I'm still sending my personal copy to you for an autograph one of these days (hmm I am slow) - but that one certainly will not be sold.

Lurley,

I've updated THE BIG TOMATO LIST at http://www.gianttomatoseeds.com/big_tomato_list.html with information about your winning specimen.

Steve,

I've also included info. you gave about Golden Dome.

Let me know if the information is complete, accurate, properly linked and agreeable.

Thanks, and I'll be glad to get rid of "DT" for every variety when tomato growers pass along their data and pics. A work in progress...

P.S. - Bring it on!
