Accidentally close a window before posting in a forum

Fusion_power · March 24, 2018

If you are like me, over the years you have had several posts ready to click to submit but for one reason or another either closed the window or the browser locked up or something went wrong so your post was lost. Well, here is something you can do about it. Load the latest version of Firefox, then install the add-on "textarea cache". It will automatically save typed text so that you can retrieve it later.

I've had this happen too many times to count here on Tomatoville.

More tomato related, I have about 20,000 seedlings that need to be potted up to cell trays. Today will be VERY busy!

that is a lot of tomatoes. have a happy transplanting day. I am on my way out to plant for the day too.... petunias, broccoli, peppers etc... no tomatoes yet. but they are starting.

I type long posts onto a Notepad, then transfer at the last minute to send. Notepad won't let you close without asking if you want to save. That's great to know firefox has a text retriever.

"Only" 99 seedlings planted; waiting impatiently for them to sprout.

We will be lucky to do a couple of thousand or about 40 trays of seedlings today. I'll do more over the next few weeks until they are all done.

You must have a much better system than I! Takes me all day to do a few hundred...

Sun City Linda · March 25, 2018

Wow, that is a lot of seedlings to deal with. I thought I had a lot with a few hundred for grafting purposes.

tomatodon, I have about a dozen purple haze plants and am limiting customers to 1 plant each. I had very few seed this year and Keith was unable to make the cross in 2017. He is trying to make the cross this year.
