Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
@Cornelius_Gotchberg That feels me a bunch better! It is a great day to be in bed. I made some chicken tortellini soup and it hits the spot.
I'm loving the rain because it's washing in my secret ingredient into my soil to feed my big ones.

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
I'm sorry to say I think my competition seed were lost in the mail. It's been 9 days since MissS said they were on their way. It figures. That's the way it goes for me.
However, my Domingo and Westerlund seedlings are doing fine.

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
I think that I have all of the giant tomato seeds out now. I PM'd everyone when their seeds went out. If you have not received them or did not get a PM, then please let me know so that I can get it rectified. I am not perfect and I have been rather sick for a bit here. I'm much better now, so let's get growing!

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
With the exception of my 2 competition choices being lost in the mail, I have the Domingo and am well equipped anyhow! After this horrendous wind we've been having the past 3 days, I hope to get my transplants out!

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
I’m in it but barely I might be bowing out ..@ MissS I saved the one Domingo you sent me I started the others you gave me because I didn’t want to waste it just in case it is safe and snuggled away for the right time..I’m glad I didn’t use it my seedlings have been dying left and right I can only blame myself at this point ..they just don’t like the dirt I used or the fertilizer no matter how low I dilute it . It didn’t matter.. never seen such angry seedlings haha.. lesson learned.. I’ll update when things change so far there not looking that well.

Didn't I send you some competition Domingo's?

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
That's so sad. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that you figure it out soon. Losing seedlings is part of the game. It happens to all of us.AKgardener wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 6:35 pm I’m in it but barely I might be bowing out ..@ MissS I saved the one Domingo you sent me I started the others you gave me because I didn’t want to waste it just in case it is safe and snuggled away for the right time..I’m glad I didn’t use it my seedlings have been dying left and right I can only blame myself at this point ..they just don’t like the dirt I used or the fertilizer no matter how low I dilute it .

No worries about the seed. There are plenty more for next year and those that manage to harvest a fruit will be sending some seeds in too. We all take care of each other around here and you won't be going without seeds.

About a month ago I SASE'd for #5 and #7 and on March 13th you mentioned that they should come soon. So I kept waiting on them and they never arrived so recently you sent me some awesome Domingo lines with a note that said #5 and #7 were all gone. I'm not upset about anything, just trying to clear up any confusion but I'm 100% satisfied with the lovelies you sent me! I'm afraid I won't have room to do all of them this year though.

My dynamic trio are growing beautifully! I've got sticky traps out to help stop thrips and leaf miner flies. There's a bad storm coming in Saturday night so I'll be covering my babies.

Re: 2024 Monster Mater Madness
Hopefully it will perk up for you. Even if it doesn't produce a monster, it's supposed to taste very good.
