You folks are something else

I use to think I knew a bit about tomatoes , after joining this great site I figured out I was still in first grade. The amount of knowledge here is really something else and I say Thank You

You are right...I have learned a great deal the last couple of years. There are also some really nice people here. I love "comparing" posts...and finding common threads of information. That is valuable to me.

I grew up on the family truck farm in NJ and later in Maryland. We raised acres of tomatoes I remember Supersonic, Celebrity, Jet Star, Rutgers and Mountain pride off the top of my head. And I too must admit that I am guilty of learning a lot from these knowledgeable and nice folks here! T'ville is a nice getaway from real life too!

Glad you appreciate all their knowledge because I taught them everything
they know including their modesty.

I think you may have bested Worth with that one!

One aspect of knowledge and wisdom is to admit you know almost nothing.

I came here with just a cursiory knowledge of gardening.....clearly that's where i've stayed...but i and the kids enjoy it. This site has been invaluable to us. Thanks to all!

After a while here, you will start saying things to your friends and family that make no sense at all to them.

There are blue tomatoes?

A green tomato? Why would you eat a green tomato?

I started gardening in 2010. I told my doctor that I no longer wanted to take pain medicines for the nerve disease RSD. He told me to find a hobby to keep myself busy. A hobby to keep me thinking and learning. Gardening.

Sense joining Tville, my hobby has become a year-round learning experience. Here it is January 5th and I'm thinking about gardening as soon as I wake up. It keeps me thinking positive. The pain is still there, but I'm not thinking about it. The doctor was right.

It's because of all of you here at Tville that my hobby has become a passion. I thank every one of you for being here.

Oh Lord, Linda, Don't EVER challenge either one of 'em!

I appreciate learning about modesty. Every time I think I've become as modest as possible I realize how much more modest I can become. Now if I could only grow tomatoes inversely to my modesty.

First grade is pretty good. Before joining, I felt like I was held back in kindergarden for three years.

I posted here but also to FaceBook pictures and comments about PSR-37 that it was an OP line to Early Girl and more. My kids came back with "What on Earth are you talking about?????"

Worth1 · January 8, 2015

What!

Did I see my name mentioned?
Did I win an award?
Is there a prize?
Where do I pick it up, do I need to make a speech?
I'm so excited, I'm dont have a thing to wear I'm going to have to go out and buy new clothes.

LOL Linda! My friends just give me the glassy eyed blank stare when I start talking about tomatoes. Then one of them (usually my neighbor Kevin) will shake his head, laugh and say something like "aw, we don't really care about all that, we just like eating them, so keep on doing whatever it is you do" ! Now if I could just get them to STOP refrigerating them!
