Oh you know i jumped right on getting others started and some are up. But any chocolate or colored tomatoes are great.I started chocolate cherry. Last year some one gave me a chreekee chocolate. It was a dark pear shaped that tasted good. But more of a plum meat. It was interesting but want to try the real thing. Only had 6 seeds to plant . And whoops. I hope to have some different kinds to bring. They are nice and cozy.Thanks Susan

Hey Jerry, I want to grow almost one of everyone you are growing that I'm not!! Our lists are similar though!

Anyone heard from Mark, Ken [Mr. Ato], Ray, Gary, lately? About showing up at the meet? Or anyone else?

Ok, Amy, you're down for a Cherokee Chocolate.

CHOPTAG Plant Exchange
 

Checking in to say, I will be at the Plant Exchange. I'm uncertain if I will have anything this year. Katharine and I were just recovering from a long difficult winter here. It was late when I started the germination; I lost some of those seedlings. I helped with all the seeding of the Heirloom Tomatoes at Thieneman's Nursery. Completed those and worked one or two days on my own seed. So many varieties to consider growing and such limited space!!! I will have a few goodies for our tasting for sure!
Looking forward to seeing all you folks!
Gary

I don't know what I'm bringing yet but I'll be there!

If you want good growth on the plants, getting close to [last chance] for plants from my list if anyone wants any. Any lurkers out there that's going to stop by? Don't be bashful, speak up. But I'll pot up until day before meet if anyone wants any.

I'm going to start passing plants out to friends this weekend. If you want something, speak up. I will be bringing extras of things to the plant swap, just not sure what will be there if you didn't request it.
I found some nametags out shopping the other day and picked up a couple of packs and will bring those in case we need them. And I'll bring a monster cheese ball to munch on.
yrb*** if it's not too late, mark me down for a NAR.
Now don't let me take any more plants than I already asked for ;)
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hello Earl I'll take a chrekee Chocolate. And barbie thanks for the plant offer. I'll bring you some bulbs. My daffadills are taking over my garden. I haven't decided on the food yet. I am ready to get planting. :yes:

Anyone growing any of the berkley tie-dyes? If so, I would like one plant each color. Another tomato forgotten during the starting frenzy. Thanks.

Can't wait...
 

Earl-I will definitely be there. Not sure how much I will have to share as I got a late start. Toms just getting second set of two leaves. Growing the usual suspects and a few Jerry was kind enough to share last winter that I didn't have space for last year.

Amy- I am counting on your to bring some of your family heirlooms. I could kick myself for not saving some of those seeds last year.

Mark:D

Hello I have decided on mini beef burritos.
I will be bringing black brandywine, abe lincoln, tessi{something greek} moby grape, orange strawberry, mountain fresh. I have a few brandywines . I have sweet colored peppers to bring. TTYL Susan

Hey Earl,

I just now checked the date of the shindig. I'll try to make it--I was supposed to be in Columbus until Sat. afternoon, but will try to leave early. My tomatoes are puny; I started them about two weeks ago, and they just have their first true leaves. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Ken

We won't be able to attend the Swap this year.
Many of my customers that have preordered, want to pick up their plants on Saturday. Sales have been brisk.
Plants, started in Mid-March are now 8"-12" tall and a lush green.
We'll miss seeing all of you and the fine fellowship.
Maybe next year------.
Dave/Columbus

Do any of you Cincy people know if there is a decent size Farmer's Market in the area?8-)

Farmers Markets in Cincy
 

Terry, My friends from Hazelfield Farm (source for Hazelfield Farm Red Tomato) set up there on the weekends; I don't know if they have started this season or not. They come to the Norton Common's Market here in Louisville which is very near me. I can call and find out where it is for you.
Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday.
Gary

Thanks guys!! Barbee that was exactly what I was looking for. Gary.... If you have any Lincoln Adams, could you bring me one? I only got one to germinate and he is kickin' it.:cry:

Earl,
I will be attending. However I have nothing to offer.My seedlings have yet to be planted.
I had an unfortunate case of neglect. Last fall I fermented my seeds as I always do and set them in a discreet location. So discreet in fact that I forgot about them. It wasnt until a few months later that Meg my Sweetheart found them and protested quite passionately.
To make a long story shorter. Several didnt germinate. including Megs Passionate Pink. My favorite from the CHerokee Purple x Sausage. Hopefully it will show itself in one of the others from that cross that arent so stable.

Mark

Mark, sounds like you pulled an Earl. :-) If you want me to I'll bring my seedling tray [see my list], some potting mix, paper pot making stuff [I'll give a paper pot making demo], and we'll pot up whatever you want of what I have? Still plenty of time for the seedlings to mature enough for planting by first of June.

Oh, BTW, I've got an 8-10 lb. pork butt in the smoker being tantalized-infused with cherry and hickory smoke. I'll bring butt in the crockpot to keep it warm and pull it when I get there between 12 and 1.

See Y'all tomorrow

will be late
 

Jerry and Earl and all, Tony and I will be there, but will be late today as we have farmer's market until 2. We are going to skip out early from that if at all possible. We will see you then!
Amy P

Hello all I am picking salad greens. And looking forward to a great day. Susan and Husband Jerry{soon to be a tomatoperson}

Hey guys, posting some pics from Choptag. Had a great time. Wrote more on the blog about it. Thanks Earl for the pot rolling lesson.:lol: ;)

I had a great time at the plant swap!
As usual, everyone is so friendly and so willing to share. The plants were gorgeous, the food was great. The weather.....well, we won't discuss the weather ;)

Time now to get those maters growing and ready for eating!

Hello Had a great time. Been planting since Saturday. I love tomato loving people. Thanks for being so nice Susan

Hello everyone! I have missed seeing y'all. It's good to see pictures of the gang at CHOPTAG. The children were asking about you and hoping to get to see you again.

Life was turned upside down for us, and we haven't quite recovered yet. Our 6th baby was born on 2/17 and on 2/23 I had an aneurysm and almost died. I was air-lifted to Good Sam where I spent 2 weeks. So, anyway, my garden and seeds were all late getting started, BUT they did eventually get started and we are almost back to normal. I do so hope to make it to the Taste Fest in August.

Y'all take care and I hope your gardens are very productive this season! :-)

Lisa

Goodness (((Lisa)))
Sending healing thoughts your way.

I am glad to be hearing from you Miss_Mudcat. Most people that have aneurisms like that do not survive. Someone must have known that you didn't have time for all that and you needed to plant your garden! Hope you are feeling ok now?:o
