Back on topic - Lithuanian Crested Pink (LCP) My seed for this came from a trade with Steve "forgot his name but it's written on the packet" at least 7 years ago. I've been saving the seed from the largest, meatiest tomatoes with the smallest and fewest seed locules. Most of the time this is a wonderfully productive plant. Even cursed by the early blight this year, I had some productive, but not exemplary plants. ( I sprayed with copper sulphate at the first sign.) LCP is mild, sweet, fruity and my family loves it so it goes in every year, make as good addition to canned tomatoes because it has so few seeds. Wonderful salad: LCP sliced lengthwise, dress with 1:1 mayo: sour cream, thin with lemon juice, dill snippets, thin sliced red onion. My daughter and husband prefer Rose overall. I've mentioned this previously. Johnny's seeds of Maine advertised that Rose was better than Brandywine. I grew and ate both side by side - Rose won and goes in every year. It Also produced this year in spite of blight. The flavor is very fruity and you can tell when this is included in a sauce. I've saved seed for more than 10 years and have some fruits that have so few seed locules, they *almost* look seedless :-) New love this year: Coustralee - a keeper, big, flavorful, only drawback is the large, plentiful locules. I squish the seeds out before canning. Polish Pastel - like this one, productive, though it's a bit bland. Nice for canning since it is firm and keeps some shape. I think this may be unstable though, as one year the seed I planted had little resemblence to the yellow bell with pink highlights. John from Australia has not answered my email lately :-( Bless him for sharing this one with me. Tomatoes should not be political fodder - if you love one that does not mean the others are no good. It seems the different varieties are suited for different localities and weather conditions, different palates, personalities and uses. Peace through tomatoes. Back to lurk-land Maryanne in WMass

Here's the pic's I took today... LindaC-You mentioned dove tailing, but I wasn't sure which piece you meant, so I took pic's of both. This is the marble top chest...side of drawer This is the chest with the mirror...the back. Does the hardware give any clues as to age, or whether the mirror is original? I do see the difference in the wood color...now that you point it out! Still very curious about the stickers on the back...any ideas? Hinge that allows the mirror to swivel This is a top view of the drawers on chest with mirror Side view of drawer (Mirror Chest) The Pine Chest...This is my all time favorite bargain! I love this chest, even with all its stains and imperfections. Linda-you wanted to see the sides, back and top... This is the right side...in looking more closely, I think you are correct that it's one piece. The "line" that you see is actually a crack...there's one on the other side, also. However, if you run your hand along the top of the side, it's smooth-no seams. Is that what you meant by "solid"? This is the left side...the crack is more pronounced. The crack on the left side actually goes into the top somewhat. See how it's sort of a diagonal crack? If that was a paneled side, it would be straight, right? The top pine chest...hard to get a nice clear picture of whole top... And the back Definitely curious about the dark color. Linda-you also suggested having new knobs made. Who does that...what would I look up? By the way, I wouldn't change the knobs...I love them. Can I add something new? As I was taking these pic's, remembered another bargain chair...about $10 in a resale shop. My first chair had a laminated seat, but I'm not sure about this one...could be just one piece. Need trained eyes to check it out. The bottom

Annie, the first time I posted pictures to Garden Web from Photobucket I put in the codes, I saw they appeared in my post and so I deleted them from the Photobucket site and to my astonishment they disappeared from the GW post! Then someone enlightened me that the codes were a LINK to Photobucket and you had to leave the photos on Photobucket. It was news to me. Perhaps that's what happened in this case. We live and learn.

It has a 4 " exhaust (chimney) if you look at the top picture It shows. under the exhaust whole it has a complete opening to draft cold air in with the exhaust. the area of the opening is about the same size as the 4" exhaust if not bigger. Will I have a problem when I first light it and the fumes just coming out into my work space. I hope you understand my point. I will assume it just take the rout of least resistance once the chimney gets hot and it will go up instead of down to the opening
