Hey why not! This is supposed to be a fun thing anyway. Steve in Baltimore. ps How about a cake in the shape of Poland????

I'll be delighted to sing happy birthday for your Dad. 85, how wonderful! I was hesitant about writing you and asking if I could bring cupcakes or something else, I'll be 50 on the 23rd, lol!

Steve - the Polish flag might be easier!

Trudi - my family can sing you the Polish equivalent to "Happy Birthday" - "Sto Lat" - at the same time!

Sounds good to me. I think we ought to get "Charm City Cakes" aka "Ace of Cakes" make the tomato cake.

Sounds fantastic!

Amazingly, this looks like my best tomato year ever. Got all my plants well-mulched and staked or caged, and the harvest is starting to roll in. Black Cherry, Matt's Wild Cherry, Amish Paste have produced so far, and Brandywine and Roughwood Golden Plum are on the horizon. Plus about 4-5 others that I can't remember right now.

Anne, I don't think the Cherokee Green I got from you is a Cherokee Green after all, unless it becomes Cherokee Orange when you wait too long! If it's still around at MAGTAG, I might bring it along anyway, as it's pretty tasty.

My black cherry already has early blight, but it's producing prolifically. And Stupice and Lemon Boy - usually (with Sungold) my earliest fruiters - are both very late this year!
