Funny Story !! (( LONG POST ))
I have this very handsome, goodlooking TWIN brother :wink: he came by late yesterday evening and as we were drinking coffee he noticed the bowl of sungold tomatoes on the table and asked what they were ? Well i told him they were a new type of grape grown in Mexico and you could'nt buy them at the grocery store :wink: . Well he just went to eating them he said they were sweet but did'nt taste like any grape that he has ever eatin. He had eatin about 15 or 20 of them and then ask his wife to taste these new grapes and she let the cat out of the bag and told him that they were'nt grapes he was eating tomatoes ! Now what makes it so Funny he has always HATED tomatoes (until now!!) Now whats even funnier than that is i did'nt like tomatoes either until i ate some of the sungolds 2 weeks ago (NOT A TWIN THING)! But now it looks like i will have a helper in my gardens next year he said he would help for some of the tomatoes and he made me promise that i would start him some sungold tomato plants that he could put in 5 gallon pots by his porch swing so he and his wife could snack on them while they are relaxing on the swing.

Good Story
Good trick. I like the story. Gave me a chuckle. Nice to see you chowing down on Sungolds. Do you think you can BOTH go further? Try Brandywine Sudduth.

You betcha Grub :wink: ! That's why i'm so excited and asking alot of questions about different tomatoes . I know everybodys taste are not the same thats why i go by the majority rules guide if alot of people like it and they live in different states or even countries than theres a good chance i might like it and give it a try and vice-versa. I pay alot of attention to the ones that grow and produce well here in the south but i also want to try some that grow well up north and the ones over-seas who knows i might get lucky and like all of them .

Yep...
... I think you're hooked Daylily. Speaking of which mine just came up. This joint rocks and is the inner sanctum and engine of the entire tomato world. See you round like an Eva Purple Ball.

Re: Good Story
Not a "Twin Thing?" Yeah; I see..., trying to "pull the wool" over my eyes--- huh? Didn't your Mom ever tell you she had eyes in the back of her head? (they believed me till they were 10 and then their little sister was born.) They're 33 years old & still trying...
