Ok here are the last pictures I have, except for my reliance and himrod grapes ;)

First is my Chocolate Bell peppers, one or two starting to ripe.  Heirloom variety, sweet and almost rich, very much like milk chocolate to me.  Wonderful in salads!  I grew them in pots and each plant produced approximately one dozen peppers (average).  Picture of the fully ripe pepper @ pic #5.

Next is the "normal" hillbilly potato leaf tomato, grown by a friend in Brooklyn with same seeds I have.  Mine (a couple posts up) is very abnormal shape, I think due to our hot summer.

Next is one of many branches from our two nanking cherry bushes.  They produced over 500 cherries this year with little of no effort.  They are very good frozen, for hot summer "bright and tart" treats.

4th picture is my '08/'09 SSE order of mostly tomatoes and peppers.  If anyone is interested in any of the seeds, let me know.  They are much cheaper to ship, and I hardly put a dent in some.  The Riesentraub and Cherry Roma were very heavy producers, releasing a dozen or more tomatoes per week at peak season, and did this for almost 10-12 weeks, sometimes 2 dozen tomatoes a week.  Nyagous is similar to Blk Krim, slighly smaller, wonderful taste IMO.

next picture is some of the final peppers, chocolate, bullnose (red), quadrato asti giallo (yellow) and a white bell obtained from a friend (watery, did not save seeds).

finally, one of my three seed flats for the year.  SSE has great quality seeds, and as you see, placing 2-3 seeds per hole, i had amazing germination rates, to the point that i was giving away seedlings for several weeks.

I guess this is the best time to say, if anyone wants to trade seeds for cuttings, I am sure myself and Bill (saxonfig) would be welcome to this idea. 

My veggies have been a part of my life for a while, to the point that I guess I didn't think anyone would ever want to trade something as simple as pepper seeds or tomato seeds for some fig cuttings.

Because of my ever increasing fig list and required space,
I stopped growing tomatoes, except maybe 2-4 plants.

For those wanting a real "Jersey Tomato", aka
the "Ramapo" (hybrid), it is baaack; see (rutgers unv):

Funny you should mention Totally Tomatoes gorgi.
I just received their print catalog in the mail today.
Looks like it'll be spending some time with me in the "readin' room".

Hi Jackster, I had about 70 plants in the ground, but I planted them too close together, so the yield was good, but could have been better. I've been steadily adding composted leaves & grass clippings to build the soil up. If I find the time & energy, I'll try again next spring a little further apart.

cold just be a GA clay thing, but my tomatoes grow better when i go to the local chain coffee shop and get a few plastic bins full of grounds every other week and toss on, superficially work em into the ground.  they're always happy to get rid of them.  mix the grounds with some leaves you ran through the lawn mower and you got prime additive.

I get very large yields from my earthboxes.  I thought that they were exaggerating the yield until I actually tried them.  This year I have part planted in the earthboxes and half in compost.  The compost bags, so far, have an equal yield to the earthboxes.  I take a 40lb bag of compost, post holes in the bottom and plant 2 plants in each bag and then use miracle grow on them.

I've been using bone meal for a few years and I'm really happy with the results. I can't really tell how well it fertilizes the plants, but I haven't had any problems with blossom end rot since I started using it.

This summer was a tough one for tomatoes where I live. The season started late, the weather was cool and rainy, and the late blight was everywhere. But thanks to copper soap and some aggressive trimming, I still got a decent sized crop of not especially sweet tomatoes.

The first picture is a Oaxacan Jewel from Tomato Growers Supply Company. The second one is a Giant Belgium spinoff I've been planting for a few years. It still has the size, shape, and flavor of a Giant Belgium, but the flesh and skin are a mixture of yellow and pinkinsh orange. Sadly, a slug about the size of my thumb got to the one in the picture before I did.

Got some more goodies in today, some repeats, a couple new ones for this coming spring.

Bill, I'll get some of these out to you today.

Thanks Jason. Yours went out today! 

I think I may have told you this already, but I got them!  You are incredibly generous, I appreciate all of the extra seeds above and beyond what you promised!  I am going to take many of the other varieties you've sent and plant them in our community garden for everyone in the neighborhood to enjoy.  My space is limited at home, and there are so many seeds I don't know what to do with them!
