They're all coming along quite nicely and you have picked some real good ones. I've grown all that you have, except Goliath. Most, I'm sure as you know, have "late" DTM's. KB, Mexico, and GG were very late for me, 100+ days, so I hope your's come a bit earlier. The Brandywine's have been a challenge for me,and many other people, but are always in my garden each year. I grow BW Sudduth and BW Red (RL) and they produce well since I began shaking all my plants early in the AM during the hot months of Summer. It's made a huge difference over the last 3 years. Paul Robeson should be the first to ripen and CP and Carbon will follow. I would guess that you might see something in the mid to end of Sept. The bulk of them ripenng in Oct. and hopefully beyond. I've given seedlings to a gal that lives in Clairemont and works with my wife. She told me this morning that she hasn't had much luck growing tom's in the Fall, but DON"T let that discourage you with what you have going. I would suggest that you put your seedlings out as soon as possible, starting in a week or so. OUT of the wind and in the shade to start and slowly introduce them to the sun. There's plenty of info. here and elsewhere. I learned alot here: http://www.nctomatoman.topcities.com/nctomatomanWebPage.htm Drop me an email..it's available from "My Page" here at GW. Rob

Thank you very much Lisa. What worries me is that they did not respond to TWO phone messages when I was a potential customer so what would they be like if I was calling them with a problem :-( The manufacture is Klaussner Furniture Company and they have an outlet in Asheboro, NC. Are you familiar with this company? The reviews on line say that they are terrible, citing quality control and lack of responsiveness to problems. Bloomingdales at least might stand behind the product if there is a problem. The chair is very comfortable and I like the design. I would get it in either red frame and white leather or chrome and grey. Here is a link. http://www.comfortdesignfurniture.com/StyleInfo.aspx?sid=73 Here is a link that might be useful: This is the chair.

Thanks Dawn - I am not sure that is it ...unless signature marks can change over time as I saw a Knechtel mark online and it looked different. I am not sure why I can't seem to find this information online. I was told the item was bought from an italien family estate sale...maybe it is from Italy? I will try to post a picture of the stamp today...its driving me nuts not to know I don't care the value at all I just like old furniture and would love this information. :)

I have been a cookbook collector for years. I guess it's my way of making up for not cooking. Like Vannie, I prefer the ones put out by Jr. Leagues, schools, churches, offices, and neighborhood organizations, charities, etc. I have an entire bookcase full of them. The only problem is finding which book has which recipe when you want it. I don't buy them nearly as often anymore. There is such a thing as running out of space and practicality is starting to take over as I'm getting older. I'm finally realizing that I probably never will take up cooking again. Still, I love reading through them.
