Yeah, Jim ... me too. I just ordered a case of 47 4-gallon nursery tubs. Should be here mid-week. I got several dwarf types started and ready to t-plant. I was gonna get the 5-gallon tubs, but the only difference between them is 1 less inch depth in the 4-gallon ... and you get more for less. El Cheapo

Papa Vic, anytime you need pots just stop by, I used to work for a landscape company and they trash all their pots after one use so I go pick up several truckfulls every year for re-use, I've got a barn full that your welcome to pick and choose from anytime you need some friend.

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to get these started for the fall greenhouse this year but I will give them a go for next spring's early tomato crop. I'll keep everybody updated. I'm sure there is a green in there somewhere, just have to find it.

I looked again today and there is a chance I have a green one. I have one plant loaded up with fruits but no color on them yet at all. All still really firm.....time will tell.

hopefully we'll get more than 4 fruit total but all decent fruit will be used for seed collection this year. You'll get some of it for sure Alan.

Clark,
I'd love a few of those seeds too if you can manage. I'd like to compare them directly to Lime Green Salad. They look very similar.
Have you got Red Bullet or what I'm generally calling the dwarf red heart? It came out of LISP Champion Dwarf Seed Mix in 2006. I have plenty of fresh seeds that I've saved from single seed selections in 2007 and 2008. It's a great plant for containers.

Bill,
I'll send you some of those as well. I'm hoping we get several more fruit before we get a frost or seed counts are going to be low. I have some red bullet from flowerpower. Thanks.
Jim
