Been bringing em in almost every day since. It's running down and end of season (mostly) for me now though. I dunno the garden at my parents I started later so it's just now coming in for them. homey don't play that |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1286656 United States 07/26/2011 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe that is an "heirloom tomato" as in not modified or genetically altered by mass production. This same tomato was eaten hundreds of years ago, and the seeds preserved every generation. If i'm not mistaken that's the attraction to heirloom seeds. They are the same as hundreds of years ago, and you are eating a piece of history in a sense. |

(OP) User ID: 1468000 India 07/26/2011 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Guy, I like 'Better Boys' alright but I'm having just too much fun to stick to only one variety. I did pick up a giant two pounder variety locally for seed recently, we'll see how that turns out next year. I plan on crossing it with some crosses I've already made. (these) This is one of my crosses... something like (Bush Goliath x Jetstar) x Italian Tree [link to i102.photobucket.com] -which I do believe is the first Bush/Patio Beefsteak ever. and the two watermelon pinks are something like (Bush Goliath x Jetstar) x Cherokee Purple [link to i102.photobucket.com] [link to i102.photobucket.com] The oxheart I picked up from a local old timer- it has a very fine flavor. I suspect it would make a very fine sauce tomato. I just have fun with it. Last Edited by Fruitloops on 07/26/2011 09:55 PM homey don't play that |

We moved into the new house too late to get started this year, and next year I'll be deployed when it's time for planting. Oh well, maybe in 2013.

User ID: 1484177 United States 07/26/2011 11:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It looks like a sripey. If it is I think its a hybrid and cannot be grown from seed. I grow heirloom German Martin and Orange Anna tomatoes. Even have some that crossed between the two. They are indeterminate (they grow in all directions) and will grow as long as they have warm temps with many blooms. Fruits are about 10" in diameter. If you ever have a chance to buy them I would bet most people would love them. Life is short.....live it with ecstasy! Intuition is a status of mind to live by. The most destructive lies we tell are the ones we tell ourselves. Once you stop this behavior things begin to change. The universe embraces you and gives you the courage, forbearance, faith, hope and love to move up the staircase. It's enLightening. Changing the world one person at a time.

I found some things interesting: [link to en.wikipedia.org] Protection from radiation Both animal [49] and human[50][51] studies have shown melatonin to be potentially radioprotective. Moreover, it is a more efficient protector than amifostine,[52] a commonly used agent for this purpose. The mechanism of melatonin in protection against ionizing radiation is thought to involve scavenging of free radicals.[53] It is estimated that nearly 70% of biological damage caused by ionizing radiation is attributable to the free radical, especially the hydroxyl radical that attacks DNA, proteins, and cellular membranes. Melatonin has been suggested as a radioprotective agent, with the proposed advantages of being broadly protective, readily available, orally self-administered, and without major known side effects. Now it seems to me that ionizing radiation would interfere with our bodies melatonin levels and influence things like our sleep cycles, etc. Last Edited by Fruitloops on 07/26/2011 11:48 PM homey don't play that |
