100 Most Important Questions Facing Plant Science Research

Cooked on the vine you say? I have tomatoes coming out of my ears..but I learned to grow them in manatee county fl...so you would expect that. Excellent article, I'd give this thread a million kudos if I could.

I mostly grow heirloom varieties. They aren’t nearly as resilient as some of the hybrids available these days. It was a warm and dry spring around here. Then I went to Yellowstone for a couple of weeks in early June and it got cooler and rain practically every day while I was gone. That plus the sprinkler running 3 times a week almost drowned them. In early July we had a couple of pretty big thunderstorms and the wind beat the shit out of everything. I don’t think we had a cloud much less any rain for the next 6 weeks. The tomatoes didn’t deal with all the changes very well. My bell peppers and jalapenos did surprisingly well though.

These are my favorites though:

What a handsome houndy. All the sight hounds breeds are generally good pets.

One of the NC greyhound rescue groups has a big get together in Gatlinburg every year around end of May or early June. It’s called Mountain Hounds. Check it out some year if you get the chance.
