    Me too. Although, it looks like maybe we missed a decent train wreck in Jim's failure to moderate. #seedchat -9:00 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    -Good to know. Thanks! #seedchat-8:59 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat I worked soil deep, planted rootballs deeper-8:59 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    -Oh, good idea. I need to try that next year. Thanks! #seedchat -8:58 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Indeed. Sigh. Wish I could feign interest. RT: It looks like everyone is caught up in the debate. #seedchat -8:58 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Sorry I missed #seedchat just got home from night shift, trying to get caught up w the debate now. #seedchat -8:58 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I was distracted by someone asking me a question about a different subject. #seedchat -8:58 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    It's much better with the sound off.#seedchat -8:57 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    It looks like everyone is caught up in the debate. #seedchat -8:57 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Sleepy #seedchat? -8:56 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   I'm hoping putting my cukes and maters next to concrete and fence wall will extend the season a bit for me from the radiant heat. #seedchat -8:55 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    That's a nice collection of tomatoes you got there. #seedchat -8:51 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Sorry for dropping out #seedchat. Internet went away for some reason. -8:51 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    was tha what? ;) #seedchat -8:50 PM Oct 3rd, 2012





     my tomatoes started tasting funny ... Moved some plants in greenhouse for more heat!#seedchat -8:49 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    wow! #SeedChat -8:49 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     -*going to be*--sorry, cut and hit send too fast. #seedchat -8:48 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     -I'm a pollinator next year. Was trying for that in our fall garden but squash vine borers beat me 2 it. #seedchat -8:47 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat we had some of the highest heat I have ever experienced & worst drought too but still produced tomatoes. I think my secret was tha -8:46 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I had bees like crazy this year. Still got plenty of bumble bees (they are sooo cute.) #seedchat -8:46 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     Going out & hand pollinating protects me from pollinator absences in the garden. I'm natures fail-safe #seedchat -8:46 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    All my tomatoes were pulled 2 weeks ago. Years past, I was protecting them from frost and freezes in Nov.#seedchat -8:45 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    That sounds like our harvest. Heat, drought, no pollinators... dismal year. #seedchat -8:44 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Got my load of tomatoes in late April-early June. Thought about Fall 'maters but gave up idea.#SeedChat -8:43 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     -Then I'm racing headlong to genius-dom. #seedchat -8:43 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Nice! #seedchat -8:42 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    -Dadgum.#seedchat -8:42 PM Oct 3rd, 2012

   #seedchat trying again http://t.co/NRtV3ICx -8:41 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Very true, but the failures can teach you more than the successes. #seedchat -8:41 PM Oct 3rd, 2012

   RT : RT  #SeedChatthis is from tonight. Barely made sent before darkhttp://t.co/a3Ar7zDj -8:40 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    That is a big problem with small gardens. No room for failure. #SeedChat -8:39 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    #SeedChat this is from tonight. Barely made sent before dark http://t.co/a3Ar7zDj -8:38 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    -Ours never did much of anything. Only 6 tomatoes out of 15 plants. #seedchat -8:38 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Most of my tomatoes haven't ripened at all except for a few 'Coyote' I'll have to ripen them all indoors.#seedchat -8:38 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I got no tomatoes. Weather never cooperated. #SeedChat -8:37 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Who still has unripe tomatoes? I have a GANG of Indigo Rose still on the vine. We're talking a few pounds & cold on the way. #SeedChat -8:36 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    It wasn't working for me at the start of this chat. #seedchat -8:35 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Much better. Thanks! #seedchat #seedchat -8:34 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   It's easier to see who is in the #Seedchat if you use this room http://t.co/gCDf90ST Twitter is busy tonight. -8:33 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   RT  -Yay! My feed finally is working so I can keep up. Wheew. #seedchat-8:33 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     Same here, mornings cool in the 60s, days in the 80s. Almost perfect! #SeedChat -8:33 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Yeah, we're here. #seedchat-8:33 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    No! Highs are in the 70s and 80s for the next 10 days. #seedchat -8:32 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Given fall was 2 weeks early here this year, in theory, the frosts will be right on schedule. #seedchat -8:31 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Weatherguys=dentists=killjoys RT: Weather guy was teasing snow for us earlier in the week. #seedchat -8:31 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Weather guy was teasing snow for us earlier in the week. #seedchat -8:30 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I saw pictures of light snow in the upper midwest/northwest #seedchat -8:30 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    It's supposed to go down to 4 here in a few days - yes, I'm worried about frosts! Really early for my neck of the woods. #seedchat -8:29 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    No frost here. Still in the upper 60s at night.#seedchat -8:29 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Cool idea. Cops may think it's a drug ring, tho. #seedchat -8:29 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Anyone else? RT : Hey #seedchat. It's cold outside. And dark. I'm beginning to worry about frosts.-8:28 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   RT : RT Reminded me why I'm not a cat person. #SeedChat -8:28 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   I learned that I need to make priorities on only 1/5th of a shady acre. RT Did this growing season teach you anything? #seedchat -8:28 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat-Hi! I'm late tonight. Sorry. Still chatting? -8:28 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat The internet has really helped get the message out about food integrity and the lack thereof. Folks are paying attention. -8:27 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    -That sounds lovely!#seedchat -8:27 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Hey #seedchat. It's cold outside. And dark. I'm beginning to worry about frosts. -8:27 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    That is actually a really awesome idea - I might do that next year! #seedchat -8:25 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I'll be by #SeedChat -8:25 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Anything and everything. The people I "caught" I ended up giving more seeds to take with them.#SeedChat -8:25 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    That would be very nice. #SeedChat -8:25 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Definitely. One seed head, they think doesn't matter. If they are any good they can grow quite few plants. #SeedChat -8:24 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   On my "some day" list: A seed library attached to my fence where passersby can pick seed packs when they walk by.#SeedChat -8:24 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   RT : RT : Hi everybody - sorry I'm a few minutes late!! #seedchat -8:24 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    seriously stealing seeds?#SeedChat -8:23 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    What were they stealing? #seedchat-8:22 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   After catching some people trying to "steal" seeds from my garden, I've learned to let go & make it easier for seed thieves. #seedchat -8:20 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Summer in Texas is just not a good time for anything but eggplant. #SeedChat -8:20 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   RT : RT  This year I learned... "there's always next year". #seedchat -8:19 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Nobody here but us chickens ;)#seedchat -8:19 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Reminded me why I'm not a cat person.#SeedChat -8:19 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat hello who's here tonight? -8:19 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    This year I learned... "there's always next year". #seedchat -8:18 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Did this growing season teach you anything about yourself or your garden? This week I learned I need to relax more about mistakes #SeedChat -8:18 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I love the variegated varieties, but I grow roses and.... #SeedChat -8:17 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Please come! We hope everybody can taste! Thanks for the plug, too! You should bake a pie! #seedchat -8:16 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Preach. Such ugliness hiding behind fall coloring. #SeedChat -8:16 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I've eaten far worse. #seedchat -8:16 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I've heard worse! #seedchat -8:15 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Build soil. Repair brain. etc.#seedchat -8:15 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I tweeted the pie bake-off annoucement in the hopes I'lll be invited to be a taste testing judge. *cough* #seedchat -8:14 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Every time is see euonymus I have to remember that it can be invasive and that it is a host plant for powdery mildew #SeedChat -8:14 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Sardines in Lousiana hot sauce.#seedchat -8:13 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    LOL, every time I see euonymus I have mentally remind myself that it is not eucalyptus, or I get them confused. #SeedChat -8:13 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Stressed actually! But I'm more interested in what you're eating that's gross?? #seedchat -8:13 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   I'm not sure about morning glories. The ones we already have are extremely invasive. #seedchat -8:13 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Any particular morning glory? I LOVE the Japanese varieties of morning glories. #seedchat -8:11 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat I picked up some herb seeds for a winter garden. Got to decide if it's worth fighting with these cats. -8:11 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Trying to build up your soil? BTW, I saw the new logo for FPCG and it looks sweet! #seedchat-8:11 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Here in the mild 9A, I started some morning glory seeds and will be working on others soon, particularly wildflowers. #SeedChat -8:11 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Yep, I've been trying to figure out what and where I'm planting. #seedchat -8:10 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #SeedChat Nice to see    -8:10 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    It's all good! How are you? #seedchat-8:10 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I'm SERIOUSLY thinking of only sowing cover crop seed next year. #seedchat -8:09 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     I've got Supernatural on, and I'm eating something many might think is gross.#seedchat -8:09 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Why are you locked anyway? Hiding from an ex? Bill collectors? NASA? #SeedChat -8:09 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat Yesterday was Seed Freedom Day (Facebook thing). I thought about seeds and what I could do for seed freedom. Does that count? -8:08 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Any of you already making plans for sowing seeds next spring? #SeedChat -8:08 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Hi everybody - sorry I'm a few minutes late!! #seedchat-8:08 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   #seedchat I've got some of that too. -8:07 PM Oct 3rd, 2012

      Hey!#seedchat -8:06 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    I just looked over at my stream and it looks like people are closed captioning it for me ;0) #SeedChat-8:06 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     The rain left here a few days ago, but it's still real wet. #seedchat -8:05 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Watching the debate with the sound off. Can't get the captioning to work. #seedchat -8:05 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
     How's it going tonight? Nice and rainy here in Chicago this evening. #seedchat-8:04 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Did you ever get an answer to your question about where to buy milkweed seeds? #seedchat -8:03 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Hello! #seedchat -8:03 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Hello, everyone. #SeedChat -8:02 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
    Hello from my Zone 8a garden.#seedchat -8:01 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Hello! I wish I had harvested more seeds before the rain. Now I'll have to wait for them to dry on the plants.#SeedChat -8:01 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
   Time is 8pm. That means it's #SeedChat time. The first Weds of the month is open forum. Join us to shoot the breeze! -8:00 PM Oct 3rd, 2012
