Homework assignment from Teacher_Mike - Page 11

Any progress or pictures to this project ?

(Sigh) No - and as the days pass, it seems less likely. I've emailed and PMed Wild, and to no avail. The mind wanders and imagines the worst...
I hope Wild is OK and for whatever reason has been unable to follow up here...but truth be told we may never know.

If anyone "knows" Wild beyond T'ville - the other place, for example - please encourage a return here with an update -even if it is something so terrible as "I forgot to water for the month of August" or "I was on cold pills and had a terrible weed whacker accident, from which Hazel didn't survive..." I'd be fibbing if I said I wouldn't be disappointed, but I'd also be glad to hear that Wild is OK...

Now Bully, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have the patience of a sixth grade teacher, (as I do :wink: ) so I can't promise that he won't begin the drawing and quartering process - but I'm pretty sure we can intervene in time...

Hello folks.

I don't know what happened to WILDLIFE,
but would happily welcome him back to
this website let alone to this thread. I know
he is a Tomato growing enthusiast as both
he and i traded a lot of seed. He in California
and I in Jersey, were sending the same mailing
envelope back and forth. We were both wonder-
ing and joking about how much cross country
mileage we could get out of the ever wearing
bubble pack we were sending to and fro.

WILD, both you and I had sprung-up a nice
cordial friendship, and I miss it as it was FUN!!

JJ61 - Do you still have his mailing address? Maybe you could drop him a line, if there is no other way to get a hold of him ....?

jerseyjohn61 · September 28, 2006

yeah Kim, I still should have his snail addy
so I just may drop him a line. He may not
be as shy answering in that type of forum....jj61

John -

Is he the only person to get fruit?
Or is he the only one to get germination ?

The answer is - both. Many tried to germinate those seeds (thanks to Bully dispersing them after I declined to try for a number of reasons.) But Wildlife was the only one to get germination, and did eventually get fruit as well.

I do hope we can reconnect sometime - bit I'm realistic, too.

kimpossible · September 30, 2006

Teacher Mike (or Bully) - were all the seeds distributed?

Teacher_Mike · September 30, 2006

Yes,all seeds were distributed. As Carolyn tells us, when dealing with old seeds, there is really little sense in saving some for next year, just to be a year older and thus possibly even less viable. So Bully distributed them in lots of about 10 to the first 12-15 people who responded here.

And as I said, of all who tried, Wildlife was the only one to get germnation.

What is the status on this, anyways? Did anyone ever get back in touch with Wild?

WildLife · February 26, 2007

Hey you called?
What can I do?

WildLife · February 26, 2007

The yellow seeds were a dehybed sungold.
Yuck yuck, the taste was yuck.
I have some pure seeds from the plant,
I don't recommend them for human consumption.

I have a few babies up
Thanks to JJ, Bully, Earl, some knarly ugly sweetest
mater you could ever slurp

Been doing other things, I am avail for fun................

flowerpower · February 27, 2007

What kind of flower seeds are there? I also got a bunch of old packs from friends. I am hoping at least a few germinate.

Hey Wild! Good to see you're back around. So a dehybridized Sungold, eh? Hmmm.. well, at least you saved seed - maybe its progeny will turn out better
