Did you know aspirin can be used for birth control? All you have to do is place one tablet between your knees and hold it there all night. Works as good as those fancy scientific chemicals you get at the drug store.

I was wondering about the genetics involved that gives the fruit shape of fluting like the Costoluto varieties and Zapotec, etc. Can anyone discuss?

You aren't using the same ruler Darth uses for his fish stories are you? It's real, dude. Why the big cotyledons? Can anyone explain? Is anyone seeing long lanky plants on any of their Kozula seedlings? Like maybe the wilt gene is present? I'll try to post some pictures.

There is no way that Styrofoam holds up as well as injection molded plastic....Period.... If you are paying nine cents a piece for cups, then why would you not just buy pots. I can get 4 inch Cord pots, the good kind, for 13 cents each. These things last for years, which makes for a better item for the environment. Plus, no drilling holes(time) and you can fit more into the same amount of space compared to round pots. 9c each? where do you shop? I bought paper cups today for 3c each a 100 pack for about $3 I just did the math on what Willy said he paid for cups.

I'm waiting for the sentence fragment check and the homonym correction function.

I know. That is why I posted this pic. It didn't look like any PL I've ever had. I was hoping it had just started out weird. Dang. Too late to try again this year. I will just buy seeds from a reputable supplier from now on. Every seed I got in a trade from that other site, with the exception of Carolyn's seeds, turned out crappy. I wonder how many people are having their tomato garden ruined by out crossed seed or seed that didn't germinate because of poor saving techniques? Do you think this is a mutation??? ;D ;D ;D ;D

I want to add that you are going to get all kinds of suggestions but unless you live in this area you could not imagine in your wildest dreams what the we have to deal with. There is an area from North Louisiana through Central Arkansas, West Tennessee and into Mississippi and Alabama that should have its own climate zone. There isn't any place else in the country that has to deal with the kind of heat and humidity combination that we do. Even Florida can't really compare. It is quite uniqe. You can almost map it based on Gulf Coast moisture traveling in a lower case "n" pattern across the Southern states that I listed. I gave up on variety a few years ago and just stick to about a dozen kinds that work for me. This is the first year in a long time that I am going nuts and planting a few hundred varieties instead of my usual bulletproof dozen. I hope "Tomato", "Blane", and "PVP" have some input for you. These guys know what works in this area.

I live in the exact same climate. I would say ditch the Brandywines and the Eva's Purple Ball. The first 8 on your list along with Liz Birt and Sungold should be keepers for sure.
