Our GE Profile stainless DW is very quiet. We did not get the one with the integrated controls, however, as all of those had the built-in detergent dispenser and require liquid detergent (and I prefer powdered). But I agree with posters who say that mismatching stainless is not a big deal. We have GE stainless for the DW, fridge and hood and a Blue Star range. The fact that the Blue Star stainless is different is just not an issue. I also agree that a black DW can look good among all-stainless other appliances. I actually wanted to get a black Monogram instead of my stainless Profile, but the Monogram was back-ordered so I went with the available model. Sometimes I regret it.

I have noticed that "volunteer" plants are often stronger and healthier than the ones I plant. Could also be that they started growing at a different time, out of sync with the SVB life cycle. Hope you get some pumpkins! For another year, you could try moschata type pumpkins, like Musque de Provence or Long Island Cheese. They are much less susceptible to SVB.

Will they survive if I transplant into individual larger containers? If they're currently in individual containers, it depends on how unwieldy they are and how much the support system you're using has meshed with them or made it difficult to move them cleanly. Tomato plants are relatively fragile... but they're also resilient and come back quickly from physical damage. In a good year, you could get warm temps in LI well into October, so if your plants are in an area that will get good sun into late summer and early fall, it might be worth the risk. Remember that a large beefsteak sized tomato needs about a month and a half to two months to go from flower to ripe fruit. Smaller tomatoes take less time. And any tomato that reaches the "mature green" stage can be picked and will still ripen indoors off the vine. Although the taste won't be as good as one left on the vine until it starts to color up. it'll still be better than supermarket tomatoes. Immature green tomatoes make good fried tomatoes, relish, and pickles. If we're talking multiple plants in single containers... that depends on how fond you are of them. If they're just extra plants that are doing very poorly right now, and the cost of containers and potting mix isn't a bother, you might as well try it and see what happens with the knowledge that you might not get much fruit, if you get any. But if you have multiple indeterminates in 5 gallon buckets, you're probably not going to get much fruit off of them anyway. And the bottle with holes idea sounds great- do you mean a plastic bottle, like a soda bottle? Yes, soda bottles, milk jugs, etc. work fine. Be conservative with the number of holes at first, since you can always add more, and use something fine like a needle or tack, not something like a drill. You might want to drop some gravel or something in them to keep them from blowing off the container when they are empty. Lots of info on the net about this.
