I would just let it go. They're just arent into it. You want to trade with somebody whose actually INTERESTED not somebody you're going to have to keep emailing to see if they sent the seeds. If they REALLY want to trade, they'll call you. I actually pursued somebody like that and sent the seeds and they ed up blowing their end off.

When your tomato plants get frosted they will die (or at least start a quick downward spiral). It is good to get all of the usable fruit inside before then (the fruit might still be usable after a frost - it probably will not freeze, but I don't see too much reason to wait). The sun angle, shorter cooler days, and longer cold nights are all working against your tomato plants - there is a point at which they seem to stop and wait to die. If it is not going to get warmer your tomato season is probably over. You can pull the tomato plants with a bit of a root ball intact (knock the dirt off) and hang them in a shed, it is amazing how many of the fruits will ripen this way (I grow mostly paste types, different varieties could behave differently). There is a bit of a problem doing this even if you have the extra space, the ripened fruit is of decreasing quality and at some point it will be best to compost them. I hope this helps, best of luck!

larrylwill, I found Garden Web a little over three years ago because of a larger contractor problem with cabinets that ended up in court. It was nasty. It was costly. It was a time robber. I have been 'almost done' for months. I kept thinking I'd be done before school started back...or before school got out, or before my anniversary, etcetera, etcetera. This forum was such an encouragement and support on those nights when I just could not sleep. I don't know how those people in this life can go around screwing others out of their hard earned money can sleep, but they do. I know the government can, but I mean, individuals that you deal with one on one. You chose them for their talents and skills and they perform for a fee. When they do not perform, but show up, they still believe they command full payment. It's just not right. This business of being in business is not fair or regulated fairly by our courts. I'd much rather the press be free and fair like it should be without fear of true consequences when we are swindled, we can say we were swindled. When we are presented with a bait and switch scheme, then we can say just that without fear of another ongoing court battle about subjective subject matter in the eyes of the court. What is black and white in my eyes are purple polka dots in the courts eyes. When my contract is clear and precise, how can a court deem it clear as mud? I do not get it. There is too much politics in justice and too many idiots on benches. If you have the skills, buy the trim and finish it yourself. Don't pay another cent to anyone but yourself. BTW, Love the photo of the check idea. Drinking one for ya'. Here is a link that might be useful: My Days in Court with CabFiascoGuy I & II

Oh dear. The 'wet work' needs to be done BEFORE the floors are refinished...but that hasn't happened. So now we have to do it bass akwards. The REAL way to do this (ahem...if a professional contractor with HIGH standards were in charge of this) is: 1. Wait the FULL cure time (7 - 10 days) before ANYTHING ELSE gets done 2. Cover the wood floor (after the cure time has elapsed) with Ram Board 3. Continue with the sanding/painting and door hanging 4. Do NOT use tape on the wood floors. The Ram Board should be taped to itself AND THEN up the walls with 'Green' low-tack painters' tape (aka 'Delicate Surfaces' tape). 5. Remove the tape (not the Ram Board) at the end of each day of work 6. Reapply tape at the beginning of each day of work should you need to (keeps the Ram Board from slipping and causing serious injury to the worker) Once the 'wet' work has been completed, you clean up the room and THEN you remove the ram board. Sweep and vacuum. Do NOT damp mop your floors for at least 2 weeks after the final coat has been applied. I'm sorry you to go through the 'wrong way around' process but it is faster/cheaper than having to sand/refinish your floors because of the damage of working on a SOFT finish. The 'dry' time is not the HARDENING time. Dry just means 'no longer liquid'. A floor finish often has 3 coats. Each coat has a 'hardening' time. When three coats are applied the first and second coats stay SOFT (as in you can leave foot prints and debris can be embedded in it) for those 10 days. A fresh finish is a floor that has reached 95% cure rate (7-10 days) but still has 5% left to go. That's why you CANNOT mop your floors for 2 WEEKS after the final coat has been applied. The floor is still CURING. Whew! Good luck. Leave the room/floor alone for the next 7-10 days AND THEN cover them with Ram Board. Do NOT cover them 'too early' or you will have embedded the ram boar INTO the soft finish....kinda like painting a window shut. It isn't a fun thing to learn about. So do not rush this. The floor MUST HARDEN enough to allow Ram Board to go over top. There is NO WAY around this.
