What is he saying, pls?
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! |

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.

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"? Ted

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. DarJones |

i've got seeds for vorlon to try this year. i have to admit that, as a babylon 5 fan, i bought it because of it's name, lol. if it gets an 8 for flavor, i will be happy with that as well.
