No deal. Enjoy your fucking tomatoes!

No fucking way. You can have the one I tried to convert to using an old bicycle to make electricity.

I just pictured an old episode of Gilligan's Island here. Not sure how the coconut worked in, but it did.

A monkey fucking a football crept into my mind...

That's what me picking tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and jalapeños is going to look like tomorrow. Ready for this stuff to start dying.

Another picking this afternoon. I've blown by my old record by 20 gallons. Counting these, I'm at 105 gallons picked.

How many plants did you plant?

[assateague]

84 Romas. My neighbor starts them in his greenhouse, so they don't cost me anything, which is why I have a hard time limiting myself and saying "no more"

Know where he got the original seed from?

[assateague]

I don't. It's been carried over for about 6 years now. I'll ask.

Holy shit! Nice yield. My garden sucks this year. Early blight started early and never stopped. We've had a very cool wet summer. Perfect conditions for fungus. Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and grapes all have either been wiped out or terribly affected. I've had to buy most of the veggies to pickle this year. I have to hoard my tomatoes because there isn't enough to give away. The peppers won't ripen either, it's too cold.

That's what happened to my cucumbers, and my early green beans. I only put up, I think, 10 quarts of pickles, and that was out of an entire 40 foot row of cucumbers. I should've been overrun.
