While searching for a glossary here I came across this thread which is indeed helpful deciphering acronyms (initial-isms, if a word isn't being spelled out with the abbreviation) but is it really a glossary in the strict definition? Aww.... who cares? It's fun to read anyway.

I'm ashamed of myself for writing this...

Add one: DAMHIKT - don't ask me how I know this.

I think some of the variety name abbreviations can be confusing than convenience.
Take BB, as an example :

Better Boy, Bloody Butcher, Brandy Boy, Big Beef, Big Boy.

On DTM = Days To Maturity. What is "maturity" . To me it is whem plant is grown to size that can flower, etc.
I have seen "DTH" = Days To Harvest. Now that make more sense to me than DTM.
YMMV :-)

I think DTM and DTH came from demand of people wanting an answer for how long it would take.
I like the way Tomato Growers Supply does it.
You can look up early season mid season and late season color and sizes.
I stay away from all late season plants and concentrate on early and a few mid season plants.
This really helps sorting out what I want.

would love to see all the negative posts from years ago stricken from this thread and the various glossary posts kinda merged into a master list, cleaned up, and easy to read.

A couple of abbreviations I've learned in my short time here:

TTF - Texas Tomato Food: My new favorite water-soluble, low-nitrogen fertilizer from hydroponics specialists Urban Farms. Typically used in the later flowering and fruiting stages of growth, as I understand it.

PWT - Perched Water Table: Water that may live in the bottom of your regular container garden - depending on the particle size of your growing medium mix and regardless of drainage holes - that likes to either water your roots or rot them, haven't found out for sure yet.

(read in relation to Tabla's seemingly famous 5-1-1 container mix articles on GW, but that abbreviation has already been explained elsewhere in this thread).

Good thread. It's helps a lot for commonly used terms. But as said before asking would probably be the easiest way when unsure.

Black Krim · December 23, 2016

I guess I had lurked a while longer than I thought....I had deciphered a few of the abbreviations.

Glad to read the main list to add to my vocab!

Harborseal · December 25, 2016

I've read the whole thread and have learned some things.

First, the pirate's favorite tomato is Aunt Ruby's German Green.

One of the problems with being new to a community is partially learning the abbreviations but sometimes it's not understanding what the phrases mean.

What's Stump of the world?

Thanks.

Here you go, from the Legacy Forum here.

http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=7544

SOTW was named by Ben Quisenberry, and in the link above,go down until you come to LQ Berry who was Ben's grandson, and what a surprise it was to see him here.

Ben was a very religious man and on the seed packs he sent out he wrote sayings from the Bible

The stump part referes to the Root,if you will,of Jesse in the Bible.

I don't understand the connection you made above between ARGG and pirate.

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/w...s_German_Green

Note the history..

When I was at SSE in IA doing a program, Bill Minkey, a long time friend brought Ruby's niece with him and a copy of my heirloom tomato book. She asked me to autograph that page in the book for her,I did,and she started crying and crying,then both Bill and I did as well.

Hope that helps,

Carolyn
