Hey Cindee, I am so behind on this Forum that I can't even catch my breath to read up everything and reply sometimes when the urge comes. We can exchange tomato seed lists. I compiled a quite extensive collection by now, and new ones are always welcomed. Why do I have to go OCD on everything? I bought so much seeds that I could plant a whole acre full of tomatoes and still have leftovers... I can't help it. The success of the beginning just made me dizzy, and when I tasted Better Boy, I wanted to grow more, then when the first Green Zebra ripened, I floored eating my caprese... Not to mention all the little ones that we gobbled up with breakfast: Sun Gold, Yellow Pear, etc. Then there are the weirdoes, like Spreckled Roman... Now, there is no return. I am laying gopher cages for next year, and overdo tomatoes again, even though I am running out of space for amaryllis as well. I don't know why I decided to collect amaryllis bulbs, but I know why I started to grow tomatoes by the dozen: to eat them up! Oh, and your Vanilla Orchid started to grow just NOW. It was sitting in the pot exactly as I planted it, grean, uninterested in doing anything for a year, and now, it is growing a new branch. At the same time, your phylodendron went crazy, and now covers everything around it with its leaves. I'm glad that I could keep some of your gifts alive. Thank you. So let me know if you think you could use a few tomato seeds of varieties you might not have yet.

Welcome to the 21st Century! Some thoughts on everyone's comments... 1. Real Names? That is just silly...usernames have to be unique...as soon as the 2nd John or Mary tried to use those as usernames there was a problem. And if they did allow it...there would be endless "Which John are you?" or "Which Mary said that?" 2. Creepy factor...yes at first it may be creepy to be able to Google yourself...but just how many people ACTUALLY GOOGLE YOU? Probably just you. 3. Protect yourself in all things techy AND NOT TECHY TOO... identity theft happens more when somebody goes through your trashcan than from the Internet. Or from people clicking on SPAM emails telling them about discount Viagra, their lottery winnings in Liberia, and how much girls in some third world country want to "meet you". FLorida actually has a site that will help you learn more about protecting yourself online: http://www.safeflorida.net/safesurf 4. Photos - be careful. Make sure there are no identifiers about where you live...house numbers, car license plates, etc. And no pics of minor children unless site is secure. And monitor your children too. 5 A. It's called Web 2.0 and YOU WERE TIME MAGAZINE; Person of the Year for 2006 ( http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20061225,00.html) This wonderful year allows ALL OF US to participate and share our learning and opinions with the world. The world gets smaller every day because of it. 5 B. I graduated HS in 1981 and yesterday, my HS Principal became one of my FaceBook friends...what a wonderful world where that can happen...that I can tell him and others how they influenced the person I have become. As with anything...be safe AND enjoy! Tam the Nerd Here is a link that might be useful: SafeFlorida.Net

I agree with everything that's been said! Congratulations for your 3 years of work!

Casey, that photo is unreal! It looks so ethereal and beautiful. I'm ready to move to Newfoundland! Here are some of the flowers coming up in our yard and our old corn crib on this drizzly day.
