I have a million maters, all green.  The heat put them into suspended animation I think.

I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

...  squeeze some seed in a paper towel and send it to me. I would like to try those, if he doesn't mind of course.

Sal!

I did some horse trading today, traded my contractor buddy 12 of the Last-Of-The-Season white corn on the cob for his LAST Single Huge Vine-ripened Tomato, 4 garden crisp cucumbers, and a dozen fresh Chicken's-scratching-on-the-ground brown eggs.

I'll dry the seeds here for several days, and then mail them to you.

BTW, I asked Jim where he purchased these seeds, what is the variety name, etc.,

He said, "Purchased these seeds???    They come to me after 4 generations of old Italians here in the San Mateo, CA area trading with each other, good luck to your buddy back east!"

Haha... very cool Wayne.
Passed on from 4 generations, they're even more valuable than I thought ;).

Thank you Wayne, please thank your contractor friend for me as well.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

We made September 1st without a frost.  The garden is booming, lots of tomatoes, corn and our pepper crop is unusualy good.  Onions and garlic harvested, cured and ready to store.  Our beans got hit hard by earwigs and I don't think we will get any.  Fall crop peas and radishes are looking good.  Hard times for the garden are comming, we always get good growing weather in October if we can survive 2 to 4 killing frosts.    The deer ate 1/2 of our squash, the top 1/2 of every one.

My "livestock"  is doing well, we went from 1 colony to 5 then consolidated 2 weak hives so I have 4 colonies getting ready for winter,  hopefuly they will all survive the winter.

This year was poor for my tomatoes but we got lots of cherry ones.  real sweet.   of course lots of zucchini, peas and carrots.  Fresh is better.

   This morning its clear and sunny butt 34 degrees.   ouch?

I have found a local Farmer at work that gives me as many as I can eat.
He has canned over 300 and has them coming on strong. I am trying. Cottage Cheese and Tomatoes, Bologna and Tomato.
BLT's for Lunch tomorrow.
He puts them out in three stages over the summer.
I am relishing in this. I put 6 on my window sill at work last Friday. I ate four of them today.
One with a big Home made Cheeseburger and corn on the cob!
Sorry, no pics. I ate them all! :P

Haha... looks like you're getting a lot of water as I am. :)

My garden is still producing some nice tomatoes,the plants couldn't stay up any longer and folded over.
The peppers are also going crazy this year, I never had peppers plants get as tall as 9'.

Our crop is doing well —

Planted from seeds 94 days ago —

Probably won't have to apply for a crop disaster loan this year.

Wow, you guys got tomatoes already. There has been so much rain here this year, I'm just starting to get a bunch of flowers.

These are all from California, a gift from Wayne.
I started them from seeds...we'll see :-\

   I'm getting some green ones...won't be long. Have a cherry tomato hanging basket out front that has ripe ones on it. The pepper plants in the pic below have peppers coming on now...and the pole beans are plum to the top of the cage. Photos are a week or so old. 8)
