Now that will stick in my head forever....until tomorrow!

I think Jerry favors the Zac tomato.

Jerry · « **Reply #4 on:** March 31, 2008, 03:19:56 PM »

The seller is a few miles away. I will try to contact them as soon as I stop laughing

That tomato looks great...(the monkey kinda creeps me out)..

Sandye · « **Reply #7 on:** March 31, 2008, 09:52:42 PM »

That's just toooooo funny!

I imagine the tomatoes do taste good, but the "Buy it Now" price is a bit steep for just 15 seeds.

I wonder how much they will actually sell for?

The monkey kinda creeps me out, too. It might be hard to eat the tomatoes while thinking of that picture.

I only did modestly with Zac Esther, not a complaint! I am going with a few local favorites this year. Floramerica, a tasts test wimmer. Brandywine, Better Boy, Super Steak and a few others like Roma and sweet 100.
I may have to hire a guy to dig the holes. I get winded easily. Sleeping well again though.

Jerry you have to get a Sun Sugar. Kicks sweet 100 booty. For a red Favorita kicks them too.

JMHO

We counted what we plan on putting in the ground...and it's over 300. And that is just the tomato plants

and doesn't include what is already in the greenhouse!

I think you might need some Peter Peppers to go with your tomatoes.... http://www.g6csy.net/chile/peppers/pene.jpg

ROTFLMSAO!

Johns · « **Reply #12 on:** April 02, 2008, 05:40:05 AM »

Been growing those for over twenty years. Anyone want seeds? BTW, not only are they a "conversation" piece, they are also hot little buggers.

Jerry · « **Reply #13 on:** April 02, 2008, 08:57:31 AM »

Heck yes to seeds Johns!
I will look in catalogs today for "Sun Sugar lady!

Mikey · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2008, 01:49:52 PM »

John: I'm interested in Peter Pepper seeds also. I was hoping to find someone selling the plants here and I have been unsuccessful so far. Would you like me to send you a postage-paid envelope or re-imburse you later?

Johns · « **Reply #15 on:** April 03, 2008, 05:47:45 PM »

Jerry,

As I noted to Mikey via PM, I can't get to my seeds until I move a bunch of stuff, but will send them as soon as I can get to them.

Jerry · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:13:09 PM »

Anytime!!
I usually rototill around now, but I am paying a guy to do it. Not up too it just yet. :'(
He can carry the Steer sacks too.

Sandye · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2008, 09:51:09 PM »

LOL, the Peter Peppers are too funny, Mikey!

John, I should have known you've been growing them for years.

JK!

I would ask for some seeds, but jalapenos are way too hot for me (I make a big pot of salsa with about three jalapenos). I don't want to try anything hotter.

I don't want to grow them necessarily just for eating but also to amuse myself when visitors come to the garden. I have a milkweed plant that has a common name of "Family Jewels" or "Hairy Balls"......and those common names describe the plant pretty well. I get a kick out of people who see the "hairy balls" and then cover their mouths with their hands as they whisper to their companion and then giggle....

I imagine Peter Peppers will have the same reaction...

Here's a photo of my Family Jewels....

Jerry · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2008, 11:50:52 AM »

Too funny. They have them on E Bay too. I swiped this photo there.

karen J · « **Reply #20 on:** April 05, 2008, 08:52:21 PM »

How I would love to have Hairy Balls and Peter Peppers... but what do I grow for dear Hubby? Where are the beastly Breasties? The Nippled Avocados? Where is the equality?

Just kidding. I really do not wish to grow breasts in my garden.

Mikey,

Did you ever see (hear) the Alec Baldwin Saturday Night live rendition of "Schweddy Balls"?? December 12, 1998.

Go here: http://thetravisty.com/Saturday_Night_Live/wmv/Schweaty_Balls_(Alec_Baldwin).htm

LOL, LOL!

Joyce · « **Reply #24 on:** April 09, 2008, 12:02:59 PM »

OMG John.... that's too funny!

Mikey, you have any seeds of the hairy balls to share?

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #25 on:** April 09, 2008, 04:46:47 PM »

I'm glad I read about the Monkey ass tomato here. Yesterday I went to Rodger's Garden for tomatoes to plant and I actually saw Monkey butt tomatoes. 'Suppose they're related? I'm pretty sure they're the same. Didn't buy one 'cause I know no one here will want to eat a tomato with that name!

Mikey · « **Reply #26 on:** April 10, 2008, 08:28:53 PM »

LOL @ Johns

I had not seen that before...

Joyce: I know I set aside seeds from that plant and have looked several times for them this spring because the plant didn't winter over and I wanted to grow another one. In any event, I have not found them and fear I may have tossed them out thinking they were seeds from my other common milkweed plants that readily re-seed and send up volunteers. I'll buy another plant as soon as I see one and I will make note to send you seeds. I keep looking for volunteers of the Family Jewel in the area where it was planted but have not found any to date.... If I knew it was a short-lived perennial I would have been more careful with those seeds....
