If you are still missing any, there is a website where you can use photos that were donated, link below. I noticed though when you click on "Registered Gallery" tab, then next screen has what looks like broken links but just click inside the box and it takes you to a Picasa web album. I guess they may have moved the photos over to it. Good luck with your search. Julia Here is a link that might be useful: Hybridizer Net

Glad you had a great visit, and lucky Don to have gotten the tour. Maybe he'll share pictures?

I don't post here a lot, but I do on the Canadian forums. I lurk here :-) I don't grow a lot of tomato varieties but I do grow for quality. This year I have one plant, grown form a seed of the original Gordon Graham tomato. He has the world's record largest tomato according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Through good fortune and a friend, I was able to trade for just a few seeds from Gordon Graham's world record tomato. I got one to germinate, so I have one tomato plant that is a direct child of his original! I do grow other tomatoes but I'm really excited about this one! We had a very bad tomato year last year with lots of BER. This year I planted the tomatoes in my good lasagne "wine" garden, dug in lots of old manure, a little lime and one Tums tablet in each hole. The same friend who gave me the seeds above, told me that a Tums will help supply the calcium the tomatoes need to help prevent BER. So I'm trying it. It's easy and cheap, so I figured "Why not?" We'll see how it goes. Needless to say, I baby that plant! In addition to that one, I am also growing our own heritage Portugal beefheart tomatoes (see link to pic below), San Marzano, Manitoba, Ailsa Craig, and Rev Morrow long keeper.

Some things change and some things stay the same......people don't change. I would not hesitate to say "5th annual Grown Ups White Elephant Christmas party" I'm a little confused by your post. Are you intending to say "I want to cut the list back this year because I am pregnant. There are a few people that came last year or did not rsvp a few years in a row now. I am so afraid of hurting feelings. But, at the same time this is not the year that I feel like cooking for 25 and only having 15." That is not at all appropriate. You know who did and didn't last year , use that as a measure. Invitations are not the place to lecture people on correct manners...they got them or they don't. You could add a note saying ..."and don't forget your White Elephant gift!" but would have a few extras ready just in case. PS: I cannot imagine inviting 25 people and not having them all be people I could talk straight up to unless of course it was a straight business thing. 125 maybe....
