I put 'Nanette' too. So sorry, Nanelle. Yes, name tags are imperative.

It doesn't help to discover this forum so late. I was missing Bruce's pictures at the other forum and wondering what was happening.
Anyhow, I'm so happy to see that this event is happening again. I really don't know if I can make it this time--we're going to be in Hawaii until the week before and I'm not sure if my DH will be up to a 2.5 hr drive (depending on how we all recover from the trip). If I do make it, I have lots of varieties that I could bring to share (provided they all ripen in time). I'm already battling some disease with my Kellogg's Breakfast and it's spreading fast to the ARGG cherry next to it. I'm going to be killing that plant ASAP in hopes of saving the rest. Sigh.... I'll let you know a little later if I make it. If I do, I'll bring along a dish (haven't decided yet). I'll also list my varieties once I know for sure. Cheers, Annie |

Great to see you made over to T Ville Annie. Hope you can attend the NORCATT and Morningsun tastings that weekend. Heck, you’ll already be used to hotel rooms by then, just take one in beautiful downtown Vacaville!
I’ve already pulled 4 plants and 2 more are looking ‘iffy’. Maybe if these 100° + days every 2 weeks stop I’ll also have lots to bring. Hope to see you there!

I am on vacation...My grandpa is "watching" my tomatoes. I really have a bad feeling about them. When I asked them how they are doing, he said, "Not too good". Hopefully, not all plants are dead when I return home late next week.

Diana, did you end up with enough contributions to cover the park? I'd say there's only a 5-10% chance I'll make it (out of town the previous two weekends and then my parents should be rolling in to visit right around this time.) I'd be happy to chip in for a good cause nonetheless. PM me with your e-mail and I'm happy to send $10-15 via Paypal.

Hi folks,
We're planning on attending, but need to know what time the Saturday (8/26) tasting will start. Looking forward to seeing those of you I've already met (Brad, it'll be fantastic if you can attend) and meeting those I haven't. Also, to whom do I send the list of varieties I'll be bringing. I'll almost certainly bring some Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, but will bring others that are ripe then, too. BetsyLT |

Hey there, Bruce & all!
I suspect everyone else knows when the tasting will start, but I'm still clueless. (Well, okay, I know we aren't *really* planning on it starting at 1 AM, and found it pretty funky that the park offered it as a reservation time.) If somebody could clue me in on when we plan to meet up in Davis, then I'll quiet down and go back to tending my tomatoes. Thanks in advance! Clueless in Sunnyvale, BetsyLT |

Hey guys,
This is just a couple of weeks away. Are we going to just *wing* it *hippie style* (as in, cool, man, we'll just show up whenever and bring whatever-maybe end up with all mayo and no bread) or are we going to get organized? We need: ***A meeting time - keeping in mind that it takes a long time to cut up and organize all the tomatoes ***What foods are we going to bring ---Is Bob going to BBQ again? ---Everyone bring our own plates, napkins, drinks? ---Tablecloths? ---Other stuff? ***A list of tomatoes that are coming would be nice ***A list of people coming I'll post something in Discussions to catch the eye of new members. I still haven't bought tickets yet. My sis, Pam, is moving out of her house and into a condo on the 17th. (a sudden decision on her part) I need to call her and find out how crazy things are with her.

I liked your earlier suggestion of 10:00 - 3:00. Works for me anyway if that gives you enough time for cooking. I can bring scoresheets and the plates for the tomato samples. I'll also decide on what to make and bring a dish to share.

Since I live in town, I can bring baguettes from our local Nugget, that are very good!

Well, it’s been a very tough year for tomatoes as I’m sure everyone is aware . A quick walk-thru today and I think I’ll have these ready next week that won’t be either over-ripe or still too green for the tasting. Andrew Rahart’s Jumbo Red Black From Tula Brad's Black Heart Brandy Boy Cabernet (2 Locations) Carbon Cougar Red Daniels Ernesto (Probably a cross) Goose Creek Grandfather Ashlock Green Giant PL and RL Indische-Fleisch Jasper Kimberly Kosovo Mariannas Peace Nyagous Odoriko Simpson's Summer Palace Sleezy 'B' (Carbon X DCI) F1 Soldacki Sungold I’ll also have the following if anyone wants to sample them or collect some seeds. This seemed to be a better year for chilies than tomatoes. Aji Colorado Ancho Cascabel Chilhuacle Amarillo Chilhuacle Negro Chilhuacle Rojo Chili D' arbo Cili Merah Giant Marconi Hybrid Guajillo Jalapeno Jimmy Nardello Lemon Drop Limon Pasilla Bajio Pasilla De Oaxaca Scotch Bonnet Serrano Sweet Banana I’m going to make an attempt at the Sungold sorbet that’s here in the recipe section and if that works out well, a jalapeno / pineapple sorbet too.

Wow Bruce...Given the super cold and hot weather this year, that's a nice list.
I will be lucky if I am able to bring: Black Cherry Una's Yellow Snow White Aunt Ruby's Green Grape Sugar Lump In May, my most of my plants were loaded with flowers. Most dropped of with the NorCal heat wave. It is really ironic, that my Berkely Tie Dye, Anna's Russian, Lucky Cross and Carbon are just barely starting to show flowers. I have also had better luck with other veggies than tomatoes. I should have: Cucumber Lemon Armenian Miniture White (I love this cuke) Greek (possibly) Peppers Fish Sweet Cayenne (I love this pepper) Mesilla (I love this pepper) I will also have a Pepino Dulce v. Vista availablle in a 2.5 gallon container if someone is interested in trying to grow it out as a perennial (???). Pepino Dulce is a distance cousin of the tomato. Just pm me if you want the plant. We should probably start planning out the menu...I am totally open. I can bring a dessert, drinks, supplies, condiment....Or whatever. |
