Yes, I got the three M's, as it were from you Worth, but when it posted the software took over.

Same thing happens at GW if you try to send a PM to someone and happen to mention another message site. Rejected.

Oh I see, I read it but couldn't believe it.

Jeff you will notice some of us proclaim great productivity for Cherokee Purple and others not.

Sometimes this is due to the area you live in and sometimes it is just a bad year for said grower.

Who knows?

One thing to look at is the area and weather conditions of this region and compare it to yours.

Ever year my Cherokee Purples put out tons of tomatoes here in the south.

I dont normally count tomatoes but one year here in Texas I got around 80 set fruit on one vine this vine was huge, over 10 feet and 4 feet around.

Every time I plant Cherokee Purple it gets huge.

Obviously, there's a reason why I have the software set to replace that word here.

This being said, please don't override the filter again with spaces, character substitution, etc.

Sorry Mischka. I wasn't trying to circumvent anything...was just commenting on the humour of the situation, at least the humour to me. Please feel free to delete my posts, if you wish.

**Mischka** · August 17, 2011

No need to apologize. You and the others weren't aware of the situation beforehand.

I can also see where humor would come into play, since I intentionally chose that word to be substituted for the other.

No harm, no foul - now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Mischka,

What happens, though, if the reference isn't to that persona non but another person that happens to have the same surname? I come from a heavily German settled region and have a heavily German extended family and family history. It's not quite so amusing to me.

I usually am amused by some words different forums block. Another forum wouldn't let me list the tomato variety "Barlow Jap" because it is politically incorrect or can be perceived as disrespectful. While I agree that it may raise a few eyebrows, it's just a tomato. Tomatoes have never been required to be politically correct.

I haven't grown any of those myself so I can't comment. What do you like about Abe Lincoln? Taste? Productivity? other?

I have a long list of seeds I have that I'm debating on which I should grow for next year too. Its going to be a tough decision when there are so many, aren't there?

ScottinAtlanta · August 21, 2011

You are so right. Here are the seeds I have purchased for 2012. I have room for about 6 varieties, so it will be a tough choice.

The plants go in the ground in late March in Atlanta. What is the right schedule for germination to get them ready for a late March planting?

Scott's 2012 list:
Abe Lincoln
Beefsteak
Black Krim
Brandywine, Pink
Brandywine, Purple
Brazilian Beauty
Cherokee Green
Cherokee Purple
Chocolate Cherry
German Johnson
Giant Belgium
Green Zebra
Mortgage Lifter
Mr. Stripey
Pink Oxheart
Plum Lemon
Prue
Rutgers
Yellow Pear
Carbon
Sungold Select
Eva Purple Ball
