        It is looking nasty and with the recent turn of events it has slowed and is still Cat 5. If it continues to slow it will at least cross the coast when the tide is not full.

        They are also forecasting that it will maintain Cat 5 for 12 hours after crossing the coast.

            It is like a moving feast, changes every couple of hours. Cat 4 now and over the coast. Probably decay pretty quickly from here I expect.

            We best give Utah his thread back. It looks like a hijack job at the moment.

                We just got back from Ireland and while visiting the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland we ran across one of the still and thought it might give you some encourgament on your copper dome. This one is a wee bit bigger than yours but is still beauty.

                  Russell,
                  somewhere along the line, you were sending seeds for your tomatoes to friends within the USA and Canada. I do not think it is possible to get seeds into Japan so I have to start from scratch to get some good tomato plants.

                  A few weeks ago, I got some seeds from an agriculture center and asked them about collecting seeds and replanting. They said that everything they use are hybrids and collecting seeds will not give you the same plant because of the process used in hybridation (if that is a word).


                  then I mentioned heirloom plants--and he said "Yes" the seeds can be harvested and the resulting offspring will be the same as the original plants. Gee whiz--this is a real problem in the world! If everything is a hybrid and something happens then we have lost the total dna or heritage of the plant that we are trying to utilize.

                  Tell me more about heirloom plants and where to get seeds to start my own seedbank for good species of plants. ciao mikku

                    Mikku,

                    Here is a little about snip and paste about heirloom SM tomatoes.

                    The San Marzano vines are indeterminate and have a somewhat longer season than other paste tomato varieties, making them particularly suitable for warmer climates. As is typical of heirloom plants, San Marzano is an open-pollinated variety that breeds true from generation to generation, making seed saving practical for the home gardener or farmer.

                    I did some research about importing seeds to Japan and supposedly it requires what they call a "phytosanitized certificate" (that's a mouth full) to bring seeds in. Burpee one of the largest seed suppliers in the US carries heirloom SM seeds but it is a question of whether they can export to Japan or not. I also saw a website from British Seeds which can ship to Japan but I can't tell if they carry heirloom SM seeds or not since the site is in Japanese.

                    I wish I could send you some since I have quite a few left over.

                        They have indeed. The smaller batch was the transferred sprouts from the peat pellets. 54 plants, none list yet...

                          No plants here yet, we had 10 inches of snow on Wed. It melted some yesterday but is still hanging around this morning.

                              Can't believe the snow you guys have gotten this year..........I see Gulf spotted some SM plants at the Lowes in his area and his are all ready in the ground. Mine are still little runts.
                              I didn't buy the Lowes' SMs. I'm keeping the "Utah Strain" going .

                                Good thing. If they were from lowes they would probably grow in twisted and split and you would have to return them, only to have to take store credit because you couldn't find the receipt.
