Grew Vorlon in 2003. Notes indicate PL, GDD: 1600 mid-late. Good production of 7-10 oz. tomatoes with B taste

???

Are tomato abbreviations available anywhere? Would make a great sticky!

Marko · December 27, 2009

I agree with you that tomato abbreviations would make a great sticky, especially for us non-native English speakers

PL=potato leaves
GDD:1600 > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing-degree_day
A > B taste > C > D

Hope this helps

Here's a glossary that was done a few years ago here at Tville that might help.

Thanks guys (and gals)!

I guess that I can see the need for all these abbreviations and acronyms where time is critical. But I am a born rebel and wonder why we can't just take the time to enjoy the moment and communicate properly. Ethnicities have reduced the number of words we can use and most of the words we had always used are now with new meanings that are usually derogatory to someone.

How sensitive we are, and yet insensitive. I think that soon, there will be numbers we can't use.

End of rant.

Why can't LOL be "Lots of love"?

From the beginning: Vorlon, Potato Leaf, 1600 Growing Degree Days, 80 to 85 days maturity, good production, 7 to 10 ounce tomatoes, 8.0 flavor on a scale of 1 to 10.

for comparison, I rate Brandywine 9.25 flavor.

For comparison, only one tomato has ever got an 11 on the 1 to 10 scale and that tomato is not available yet, but hopefully will be soon.
