Picked my "WES The Whopper" Today (pics) - Page 2

I did not get Wes seed from Sandhill for the simple reason that Glenn is VERY low on stock. He asked if I had any available and I do not.

Makes sense.

I just saw that lucious looking fruit and knowing what's available in our local grocery stores that are called tomatoes, would have loved to see it on my counter instead of being dismantled for seeds.

Luckily I can update and add Wes to my list of growouts....phewww, thanks Ray...and I just got over 12 inches of snow yesterday so I took the ole John Deere for a ride....wheeeeee....spring comes soon...from this ole drip to maple drips...sooner than we think.

Ray, I cannot even imagine the damage you are going to do with a greenhouse! Your DW must be a gem like mine. She lets me do anything as long as it keeps me home! Being that I love tooling around in the backyard, that works for me. Now you got me thinking of upgrading my greenhouse. I would love one with power and water. A person can dream.

Good luck!

(Your Wes is now my screensaver!)

Hey Duane,

I'm really NOT trying to "tease" you folks back East with the pictures.

I spent several years of Winters working in downtown Buffalo, and in my younger days, about this time of year I always appreciated seeing a photo of a California girl in a bikini. So hopefully, the Wes tomato photos will provide "inspiration" that Spring is not too far off for you guys. (Guess my definition of "tomato" has also changed over the years, as well).

So, I will leave you with one more photo of me working hard in the 'Tainer Farm last season...

Buffalo my eye. You lived in a demented hot place where you honed skills for tormenting poor souls.

Let's see if we can make some heartburn for "Rub-it-in-Man".

Hey, uh... Ray!!!!! The spa color clashes with the foliage!!!!

And, wasn't that the dreaded nail fungus????

Dar, I think you're right. He trained so well that he's totally impervious to comments and has some really strong sadistic tendencies.

Did that water look off color to you?????

Totally inTimidated Ted
