OK, I'm too old to understand what you wrote. To use slang from my day, I can't dig what you laid on me...

Nan - it's regional (Hawaii-specific), not generational.





Tom - Good luck on your season!

Dave,
Thanks for you kindness.
Things are moving along. I did post pictures, of the Big Cheef. Also, the everglades are coming along slowly.
The Japanese Oxhearts are doing well in N.Y. catskills. The russian orange is the standout. It's beating a long established Mortage lifter & Amish paste.
Thanks to all the dedication of all the people here on Tomatoville.
Mahalo,
Tomm

Sorry, just got too excited. But it has been busy. I picked 9 finally ripe tomatoes today. They are the Daiso japanese dollar store kind. For me it's a huge success. And they really taste great. I gave some to the neighbors. They knocked on my door, to tell me how great they were. Yes, I'm still smiling.
Aloha,
Tom

So here is my taste test

[GrowingCoastal]

Wow! SO red. My eyes are starved for real tomatoes.

[Tomzhawaii]

Florida Everglades showing promise. Big Cheef still the one. Next will be this wierd Brandywine IVO.
Because nobody can give me an answer what IVO is. Or where it is from.
Aloha

They sell seeds at your local Daiso store? Ours don't here...wish they did. Good quality & quantity in those packets.

Aloha,
I bought them in Japan Daiso. We have 2 stores here, but haven't been there yet. Now , I have a good excuse to go.
Thanks & Aloha,
Tom

I buy from Daiso in Japan too but mainly lettuces, turnips and daikon. Tomatoes I will buy in HD type stores or online there.

If you're in Japan and like heirlooms, try noguchi seeds. I prefer them to kitazawaseed. Kitaza is easier if you're stateside though and or can't be bothered by customs.

Peebee,
I wish that I had Daikon. It was a 2 pkts for 100¥ so I grabbed beads , peas and edamomi. It's my disaster seeds. The wife is in Japan now. Let me know if your after certain seeds from Daiso. She will leave in the next few days. I will now add Daikon to my list. Haha she will not bring me beer anymore. It's my true exclusive delight. Mostly, the Akuagi.
Let me know. I wwill check tomorrow.
Aloha, Tom

Scooty,
Yes, these seeds produced way more than expected. I still use U.H. lettuce and now cauilflower. As it turns out my fox farms will be hard to get. I'm trying Aurora Soul now, but it's back to learning again. I expect to use this quart and go from there. Big Cheef is still the front runner and Everglades is "not dead" just a note is that for Hawaii summer is brutal. More so than other places. It is about shade and plenty of water.
Aloha & Thanks for sharing.
Tom
