Casino, this is a picture we took of your Casino Chip plant. It is getting nice and big and it's only July. Healthy plant. Lots of tomatoes hidden and just waiting for some to ripen. Thanks again.

Hello everyone, I am back, and you guys are posting some beautiful pictures. Casino chips is a monster plant and all you need is one. I have grown 90 heirloom varieties this year but I really intended to grow 156 different varieties. the 2011 growing season was a roller coaster ride for me. I used a different soil mix this year to start my seeds. Miracle grow with moisture control and KILLED most of my seeds. 1/3 of all my seeds died, they rotted in the community pots. Then 1/3 of my seeds only sprouted 1-2 or 3 plants and many of those died. the last 1/3 grew like crazy. I am watching this soil mix kill my seeds while my special seed mix is outside frozen under 2 feet of snow. What grew was still a nice mix.

In MAY I started to sell my plants at a local farmers market and that took up a lot of time. In May it rained 40 days and 40 nights and I planted my garden the first week in June. The plants are growing fine and in July my garden looked like magazine material. I sprayed the plants with daconil to prevent any fungal problems and OVERNIGHT I almost killed every tomato in my garden. It looked like I used round-up or something. It took a long while but the plants did recover and started to produce tomatoes. What a beautiful sight.

I have a ton of pictures to share and I need to call back those people who I exchanged seeds with and thank-them for their generous seeds and fabulous heirlooms

Miracle grow with moisture control worst mix ever since I used two years ago would never use ever again for any planting situation.
