Wife is sick and doesn't like the house above 62 degrees. Thought about buying a portable unit for the living room. Got our old 12,000 BTU window unit from our son. Got it cleaned and checked out. Ready to hang in window as soon as I can clear space in front of it. Don't know where that stuff will go. I'm worn out.

Got 165 303 brass loaded with grits ready for resizing to 410. Got 120 resized brass primed ready for shot loads.

Store bought tomatoes are grown for shipping; not for eating. Go to a farmer’s market of Mennonite store and buy real tomatoes. The variety isn’t nearly as important as the fact they were actually grown in dirt and sunlight. We like big beef, jet stars, Bradley’s, early girls, etc. Cherry tomatoes are good too, and a single plant will make hundreds!

Most of the tomatoes in stores are grown in greenhouses. None have any flavor. We have Grainger county, TN tomatoes in stores now along with a Ripley County, TN and another from south AR. All look great but no taste. Vendors at farmer markets will buy these and others from the local "Tomato House" near you for resale Look on facebook marketplace for local grown. Just enter tomato in the search window. Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Rutgers, Delicious, Mortgage Lifter, AR traveler. Big Boy, Better Boy and a few others have good flavor if grown in dirt. True Beefsteaks look like growing in a ball, hard to get a good slice. I don't like the new flour and cornmeal mix. Can't find a loaf bread that doesn't smell or taste good.

I am reading about a tomato called Cherokee Purple. The grow from mid-summer to frost. I like the name.

Welcome enjoy

Go to a local farmer's market and do the same thing you did at the Teeter. Find the variety then get the seeds from a co-op. You can also look for "Heritage" varieties and harvest their seeds........good luck!

I dunno, but I sure do love a good Bradley tomato, but I’ve heard they’re hard to grow and ya can’t get many crops in a season like you can others. I’ve also noticed a difference in taste of homegrown. Lately I’ve been generating some store bought ones from Sprouts. Can’t remember the brand but they are small and come several in a plastic box with vine attached. They may not be Bradley good but I like them a lot.

I'll take it, per our PM
