SeedChat Well guys, that's officially it for #seedchat this week! Can't wait to see you all next week! Thanks for showing your photos today! -9:02 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato “@nctomatoman: @MrBrownThumb I like Cherokee Purple! Im the person who named it back in 1990 & sent it around to see companies!” #SeedChat -9:04 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb Thanks the fun chat and for sharing pics of your garden harvests. #SeedChat , have a good week! -9:04 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan Night all. Nice to catch up after spending all summer working ;-} #seedchat -9:03 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan oh, one more thing: I planted Chinese Pink Garlic to harvest end of May, it's an extremely early garlic. They are small. Cute tho. #seedchat -9:01 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@deltagardener Local variety from a grower on Gabriola Island - delicious and huge - can't wait to harvest next year#seedchat -9:00 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@deltagardener I planted some garlic in March (I know!!) so I'm letting it grow through winter #seedchat -8:59 PM Sep 19th, 2012
LeslieinPayson@MrBrownThumb My indigo rose were just bland, and fairly sweet, not much real tomato taste. But some customers say they loved em. #seedchat -8:59 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb@deniseminge Thanks! BTW, I just realized I never got around to answering your bean question. If you want, throw it out to #SeedChat now. -8:55 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato@xitomatl#seedchat well you know those west coast hippies and their memories ;) -8:53 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan Yes, 'creatively written' is an EXCELLENT (and diplomatic) way of putting it. #seedchat -8:53 PM Sep 19th, 2012
LeslieinPayson Dont have pics, but still picking tomatoes, green beans, okra, tomatillos, melons, more. We're collong off at night/ near 90 day. #seedchat -8:53 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb#SeedChat before I forget, Finally tasted the 'Indigo Rose' (blue) tomatoes http://t.co/nGooBPgi and I found them to be really sweet. Meh. -8:52 PM Sep 19th, 2012
deltagardener I think I am in love with lemon cukes this year. Hubby said he never tires of Greek salads. #Seedchat -8:52 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl Has anybody else found the historical information a little touch and go on the tomatofest website? #seedchat -8:52 PM Sep 19th, 2012
owilderness@xitomatl Haven't heard of that one...found this one in Amy Goldman's The Heirloom Tomato. It's on my short list for next year. #Seedchat -8:52 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan The things that have done well in heat we had this summer: lavender, rosemary, sage, thyme, horseradish, fennel, Creeping Charlie #seedchat -8:51 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC Oh- They were picked so long ago - I forgot to mention - we had a grand total of 3 eggplant and 5 cucumbers. #seedchat-8:50 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SeedChat@LeslieinPayson Cutting it pretty close. You still have 10 mins to participate in show and tell. We're sharing pics of harvests. #seedchat -8:50 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@owilderness I haven't, but it sounds quite similar to Wapsipinicon Peach. I wonder if they're one in the same?#seedchat -8:49 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@deltagardener I grew those eggplants last year and The Husband tried to eat one like a tomato. Boy was he surprised!#seedchat -8:46 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SubvrsiveHippie@xitomatl I'll be looking for those. I don't think it's going to be getting any cooler in the summer here. #seedchat-8:44 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato@copedog#seedchat Jimson Weed. It blooms at night and attracts hummingbird moths. The flowers are large -8:44 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb@ssgardengirl You just made me realize I haven't eaten a Japanese Black Trifele this year. What am I doing with my life? #Seedchat -8:44 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb@SolakNC If ya want the "original" ones make sure you source them from SSE. I noticed a difference in size between those & others #seedchat -8:43 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan I should have some Moskvich too - not tons, but definitely enough. It's a great workhorse kinda tomato.#seedchat -8:42 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@xitomatl You still have my email? We can trade lists again and then do a trade. I've got lots of peppers & eggplants too. #seedchat -8:42 PM Sep 19th, 2012
BrwnThmbCanner@jchapstk Sure is a neat set up! It is hugelkultur....it saved me a lot on the water bill. #seedchat -8:42 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC@MrBrownThumb Landreth did a nice history of the 'Fish' earlier this summer in their "Seed of the Day" series. very old heirloom. #seedchat -8:41 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan I'm trying to get both to as many people as I can - they're hard to find, but spectacular! #seedchat -8:41 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@xitomatl I never got to plant them. I miscalculated the amount of space my garlic and shallots would take up then it got hot... #seedchat -8:40 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan I'll see what I got for you in storage - 'Tsygan' and 'El Nano' you might not find easily. #seedchat -8:40 PM Sep 19th, 2012
jchapstk Plenty of pollinators, just too hot and dry. #seedchat -8:40 PM Sep 19th, 2012
deltagardener Someone told me I should store seeds in fridge. I looked at him amd asked where I would put my food? #Seedchat-8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
BrwnThmbCanner I put rotted wood under my raised beds (act like sponges), mulched deep with leaf compost, and have not water tomatoes ONCE. #seedchat -8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC@jchapstk Ditto on the heat --especially the overnight temps - and - around here - lack of pollinators this year.#seedchat -8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb@SolakNC They're really hot, IMO, when you let them get red. When they're white/green they're not so bad.#seedchat -8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@xitomatl I have stupice but haven't heard of the others. I'll seek them out for next year. #seedchat -8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
jchapstk@snarkyvegan Mine are still green, but I'm ready to toss them. They can't finish before the frost. #seedchat -8:39 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan How were Mr. Tungs for you? Or were you planting them next year? #seedchat -8:38 PM Sep 19th, 2012
ssgardengirl We had/have tons of cherry tomatoes, lots of Japanese Blk Trifele despite the heat, and lots of peppers. Cukes and beans s*cked . #seedchat -8:38 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@jchapstk That's what happened to mine and they never really recovered even though the temps have been fab this month. #seedchat -8:37 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC@MrBrownThumb I'm growing 'Fish' as an ornamental. How are they in the heat/taste department? #seedchat -8:37 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato@snarkyvegan@xitomatl#seedchat where are you snark? p[lanting method can help. It was very hot here and some set ok even in heat -8:37 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@snarkyvegan I grew 'El Nano' last year and while it wasn't hot, it did well with less water than tomatoes usually need#seedchat -8:37 PM Sep 19th, 2012
jchapstk@snarkyvegan tomatoes seem too be very picky about the range of temps. After 95 mine quit on me. #seedchat -8:36 PM Sep 19th, 2012
deltagardener@snarkyvegan My yellow pear have been troopers. It has been up to 50C in greenhouse, way to warm but they still produced. #Seedchat -8:36 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC@InkandPenstemon LOL - we had a bumper crop of squash this year too --- 2 yellow gooseneck and ONE zuchinni! :(#seedchat -8:36 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan Would prefer hot weather heirlooms to hybrids so I can collect seeds next fall. #seedchat -8:36 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@deltagardener I missed 'Yellow Pear' - I didn't grow it this year. I'll have to next year. #seedchat -8:36 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@xitomatl I'm open to suggestions. I've tried googling hot weather toms but there aren't any varieties I recognize names of. #seedchat -8:35 PM Sep 19th, 2012
deltagardener Our weather never gets over 90 so everything grows okay. #Seedchat -8:35 PM Sep 19th, 2012
InkandPenstemon Cukes putting out despite disease. Good year for carrots, even. I still can't grow zucchini. #seedchat -8:34 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC@xitomatl On the 'bright???' side - I do have some more Persimmon seed for you - 30-40 at a time. Totally bummed out again this yr #seedchat -8:34 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato#seedchat phone app must be buggy, on pc and see all SC tweets now -8:34 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan Next year, I'm going to plant some hot weather tomatoes along with my faves, as an insurance policy. Or assurance. #seedchat -8:34 PM Sep 19th, 2012
InkandPenstemon I'll have to post pics when I put them up in jars. Made a red sauce using them the other night & had it declared "best sauce ever" #seedchat -8:33 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan@deltagardener Yeah, we had a terrible hot drought and all the tomato blossoms I had in June/July dropped off.#seedchat -8:33 PM Sep 19th, 2012
InkandPenstemon Had to step out for kiddos. Too dark here now for harvest pics. Super Marzanos are sure puttting out this year. Very impressed. #seedchat -8:33 PM Sep 19th, 2012
snarkyvegan Sorry I'm late but hey, I'm here. Long day. #seedchat-8:32 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl If my weather holds out I'll get a bit of a harvest - 'Agona Local' is the best grower for me this year. Can't wait to taste them#seedchat -8:32 PM Sep 19th, 2012
deltagardener@xitomatl Oh no. I have a greenhouse & an early harvest. They didn't like it when it got too hot in GH. #Seedchat-8:26 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato it happens espc. W/ all these odd genes like high-pigment “@xitomatl: @kctomato Damn! That's too bad!#seedchat” -8:26 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@deltagardener I wish I had tried ANY of the new varieties I planted this year! This year was almost a total bust for me. #seedchat -8:25 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@MrBrownThumb Nice harvest! My peppers are JUST starting to flower - it means I'll have to snip off the blooms b4 I bring them in #seedchat -8:23 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato@xitomatl#SeedChat hot temps from Late June til mid August, some are parthenocarpic -8:22 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@DirtGently Definitely next year! I'll be growing basically all the same varieties since so many didn't bounce back.#seedchat -8:20 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC Tomatoes were a non-entity this year. - heat, drought, deer, blight. #seedchat -8:18 PM Sep 19th, 2012
kctomato#seedchat tonights stragglers 4 seed. Purple and apricot lines that didn't like the heat but are producing nowhttp://t.co/M4kNBFTn -8:17 PM Sep 19th, 2012
giseleEtc Check out this carrot with a giant grass root growing through it. Not impressed. #Seedchat -8:17 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@DirtGently Same plant, mine didn't do so well. Planted 6 wks late due to injury & very few of the tomatoes recovered#seedchat -8:16 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl I planted my Slocan Snowpeas for a 2nd harvest this year last week - lots of shoots coming up. Hopefully will get a decent crop! #seedchat -8:15 PM Sep 19th, 2012
BrwnThmbCanner I have been harvesting Thelma Sanders Sweet Potato Squash......going to pickle some, and roast the seeds....#seedchathttp://t.co/pVdmx781 -8:15 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SeedChat Have pictures of your current harvest? We're having a show and tell, so post them to the chat so we can all ooh and ahh#seedchat -8:11 PM Sep 19th, 2012
DirtGently@InkandPenstemon Actually got it from a local meals on wheels I volunteer for. Hope they have some maters left!#seedchat -8:11 PM Sep 19th, 2012
jchapstk@xitomatl Thank goodness for that. Not ready to haul everything inside here. #seedchat -8:09 PM Sep 19th, 2012
InkandPenstemon At least you could get another mater since it's early. RT @dirtgentlySome of my fermenting tomato seeds sprouted! #seedchat -8:09 PM Sep 19th, 2012
DirtGently Hi #SeedChat Some of my fermenting tomato seeds sprouted! Not sure what I'm going to do with them. -8:07 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SolakNC Good evening seedsters! Hope y'all had a good week!#seedchat -8:07 PM Sep 19th, 2012
InkandPenstemon Hi #seedchat. I have tomatoes I need to put up, but I don't wanna so I'll come visit instead. -8:06 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@BrwnThmbCanner Another brown thumb? I'm not sure if that's allowed. The universe might collapse or something ;)#seedchat -8:06 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@SuzOH I tried to explain it was just condensation and we don't get frost until November, she refused to believe me!#seedchat -8:06 PM Sep 19th, 2012
jchapstk The nighttime temps are making their downward spiral. 57 by Sunday. #seedchat -8:06 PM Sep 19th, 2012
xitomatl@SuzOH Somebody at work tried to tell me she had frost on her car last week! #seedchat -8:05 PM Sep 19th, 2012
BrwnThmbCanner Hi everybody! I am new here to seed chat, but recognize some from other chats over the past two days (garden chat and food chat)! #seedchat -8:05 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SuzOH Hi everyone, glad to make it to #seedchat this week. It's getting cold here in Dayton, actual frost this AM. #seedchat -8:04 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MyEdibleGardens RT @SeedChat: Time is 8pm come by and talk about seeds and what's going on with your garden.Show off your harvest. It's #SeedChat time. -8:03 PM Sep 19th, 2012
MrBrownThumb Hello, #Seedchat ! Harvested the last of the 'Fish' peppers. Don't think the plants would survive any more crazy wind we're experiencing. -8:00 PM Sep 19th, 2012
SeedChat Time is 8pm come by and talk about seeds and what's going on with your garden.Show off your harvest. It's #SeedChattime. -8:00 PM Sep 19th, 2012
