I am trying to join up too...Just about finished cleaning the light stand area and hoping to start a few Tumbler F3's (Tania's seed) and a flat of lettuce...Maybe tonight...

Tania · November 27, 2006

Jeanne,

this F3 Tumbler is actually F5 (I mislabelled the seed pack) - and it is stable

. Should be 1-1.5' tall at most.

I hope you like it - it is sweet cherry with intense flavor.

I seeded ten Florida Petites over the weekend as well. I might actually have lettuce from the garden outside ready at the same time as tomatoes from under lights in the dining room!

Gimme3 · November 27, 2006

A dam cutworm chopped off one of my good-lookin Rutgers plants, last night...so....what 'd i do about it ?

Started 6 more seeds today .

read the thermometer probe that was remote....restin on the greenhouse floor....it said....97.7 farenheit.

Thats WAY too hot, it caint be true...said to self.

Stuck the remote sensor down inside a big cucumber -dwellin pot (a 7 gallon or better)...about 2 inches deep.

Gave it an hour to re-stabilize. Came back an checked it again. UNREAL...it said 88.7 degrees. Outside..its about 71.This Greenhouse is gonna be some Tricky business...i can tell already. opened up a vent...lol...an shut it...come dusk.

Love to hear....winter Endeavor....))) They caint fault US...for Tryin...)))

I been to Colorado, an i missed Georgia...)))

Rena · November 27, 2006

I hear ya, Gimme. I do miss Colorado but my heart is in Georgia.

Ruth_10 · November 27, 2006

I've got three Red Robins about two inches tall in 16 oz. drink cups. We've had a warm and sunny spell for the past week so I've been taking them to "day care," i.e., out on the front porch to get some sun and wind. I've got some volunteer lettuce coming up in the garden as well (and a forest of dill). I stuck a cold frame over the lettuce and will put the lid on when the temp drops again in a few days.

You guys with greenhouses--I'm green with envy!

Gimme3 · November 27, 2006

Ruth...Green...is also..the color of a sweet smile...))) comin back at ya...))) You got the Rite cultivar( Red Robin)...to put a big grin across ya ...thru a Winter...an i hear ya on the..." day Care"...

Some fixes work...others dont, but it was in the effort, to cure the Fix ....that...we fixed it...))) Or ...simply perpetuated...the desire...)))

Who knows...what motivates some people, to try an grow a Tomato into and Thru, the Dead of winter ?

to me...its a Fascination, foremost, a Desire to engage in the try...secondly,...an thirdly...better have at it rite now, then, while the iron is still hot...))) Regrets over not tryin somethin...are what i disdain....in Life...got to Try, aint no other way to find out...)))

Those lettuces...do you ever...jus...walk out there on a cool , crisp mornin, an pull Beautiful leaves...an eat them...on-site ?

Aint nothin like it...)))

As always....well put Gimme.

I haven’t the time or money to spend workin towards a winter mater crop, but I do enjoy hearing the success stories of some here who have pulled it off. Hopefully I’ll learn form you guys and through time, eventually give it a shot myself.

I have dreams of supplying the local specialty food stores with fresh heirloom tomatoes during the winter months for top dollar, but I’m a long way from that one and many other priorities ahead in line. I guess there’s always retirement. 8)

Gimme3,

"...got to Try". Well, I got some Dorset Naga for you, if you're willin'.

I'm a looooong way from starting any tomato seedlings.

I think I'll go Brookie fishin' instead.

Gary

Gimme3 · December 1, 2006

Tormato ....Gary...is Dorset Naga some kind of pun...dating back to the time when Tony Dorsett and the University of Pittsburgh whupped the Dawgs in a Bowl Game ?...))))))))))))) lol...i aint got a clue what a Dorset Naga is...

Tomato fix...i need ya...God save me from the rediculous price asked for fool's gold, here in the Winter. Come on Rutgers...GiddyYup !!!

westocast73 · December 2, 2006

Dorset Naga is a very hot pepper ( claim to fame is its hotter then a Habanero and currently the hottest in the world ). The Dorset part comes from Dorset, England where the seeds were cultivated but the original plant is from India.

Couldn't pay me to personally even be in the same room as one. :wink:
