The new year gets me thinking about tomato seeds

[Bryan Simmons]

I don't do Christmas presents, but this is like a present.

https://www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/purple/thorburn-s-terra-cotta-tomato
https://www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/red/peron-tomato
https://www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/red/costoluto-genovese-tomato
All three, plus a free packet (their choice), and free shipping.

Still pricey, but those varieties look very nice.

It's not as pricey, if you consider that with those heirlooms, you can
save seeds from the tomatoes, and grow new ones year after year. I knew
a family who had seeds saved each year from tomatoes; the seeds were
originally bought or saved from well over 50 years ago.

check out Jim Wyant on Facebook (i don't do facebook myself
but someone mentioned he has a facebook page so i pulled up
the front page for Jim and funny enough two of the people in
that first picture are people i know, Jim and a guy who is
local to our area who does seed saving seminars).

Jim attends a lot of mid-west seed swaps so you can browse
his collection if you can make it. very impressive!

i don't do tomatoes here as the greenhouse guy grows the
starts for us each season. i do grow a lot of different kinds
of beans and keep trying with new varieties but i also cross-
breed my own which do better in my gardens as i have a lot of
clay.

if you enjoy gardening talk it's better to cut over to
rec.gardens or rec.gardens.edibles because there's a good
chance that i won't see posts on that topic here. i rarely
read everything posted in RFC.

I've found that the folks on rec.gardens.edible aren't
welcoming, and there's no "s" on the word, edible.

Not surprising that they don't welcome you. Did you wish them your
usual nasty?

I only hate Kuthe, or temporarily, anyone who picks a fight with me.

He and his little weird friend, eventhough they consider themselves
quite smart are a couple of the very, very lowest IQ-ers of RFC.

I've only added a packet of tomato seeds that can be grown in a pot on
my deck. It's a lot of work that my back doesn't like to do in the
big garden. I will kick a few seeds for Mammoth Sunflower into the
big garden and maybe stick a couple of plants for that acorn squash
that is all varigated. I like that one as it is really sweet.
I'll start seeds in the house for parsley very soon for pots on the
deck. Maybe a couple of sweet peppers to be grown in a pot. I can
sit and tend to my deck plants.

Perhaps I'll give that group a go come spring time. I'm moving my
garden and using a bit of a bigger plot next year.

I used to be subscribed to a gardening group but didn't find it worth
while and was a big time waster going through all those lenghthy
posts... can't really answer questions when hardly anyone says what
growing zone they're in... I've asked and I get back What's a growing
zone?
Most all you'll need to know is printed on seed packets. We cover our
entire garden with weed block cloth once fall is here, saves tons of
work come spring... we just till, rake, and plant, there are no weeds
to deal with. We buy the heavy duty weed block cloth, it's well worth
the extra money, and lasts many years, just roll it up and put it in a
shed. We don't save seeds, we buy fresh each year, no point in
planting seeds that you wait and wait and they fail to germinate, then
you've lost all that growing time. If looking to save money find a
neighbor to share seed packets , no one needs an entire packet of
seeds for a home garden.

Popeye, yoose have the finest garden shit in the universe. Only

If I go to a Ford dealership and offer $3K for a brand -new F150 and they tell me “Sorry, that cost $60K” and I
say I’m only willing to pay $3k - am I facing an F-150 shortage?

There’s plenty of labor, the market just demands a better price for it. Companies willing to pay and treat their
workers well (no haphazard scheduling; no tyrant jerk managers; no ridiculous rules) will have no shortage of workers.

And why should taxpayers subsidize business paying poverty wages? Why should farmers and meat processors be
able to claim they have to use illegal immigrants because “no one wants to work blah blah blah”??

And he's an obvious pervert who has continually tooted his horn
about being a "PEDIATRIC" nurse.
And he posts about liking porn where women's bodies are abused.

I hope that someone carjacks his Leaf and kills him in the process.

Was that 3:37 AM in St Louis? Do you post these things when you're
drunk?

I almost never get "drunk," and I was asleep by 8:00 last night. I
hate John 24/7. It would make me happy to hear that he was
carjacked and killed, and I don't care what your wussy, herbivorous
ass thinks about that.

I hate very casually.
