| If anyone here in the St. Pete area wants any of my extra Dixondale transplants, let me know. I have Texas Legend (the new short day variety this year - more nutritious, bigger, and longer storage than the Texas sweet). I also have yellow granex and southern belle red hybrid (which did well for me last year even planted in late Jan). I also posted this in the Florida exchange forumn. I don't have to have a trade for them - I ended up throwing a bunch away last year and don't want to do that again. I am looking for purple carrot seeds, oakleaf (red or green) lettuce seed, arugula seeds or transplant, borage plants, snapdragons, and maybe some other things that I can't remember. |

| Hey there derbyka, I think we are a good match for a trade, I have oakleaf lettuce seed, arugula seed & transplant, borage seed & transplant, and a lot of other veggie & herb starts. I live in S St Pete, send me a message & we could meet up sometime after the holiday :) |

| Hi Derek, I'd like to try some TL and SBRH, I've already got 130 YG set from seed. Want any more bamboo? Tom |

| Stpetegardner - I'd love to make a trade. What days/times are good for you? Tom - I think you have the wrong person. I picked up some extra everglade tomato volunteers from you a couple of years ago. I would be happy to give you some TL and SBRH. I grew the SBRH last year and the Texas Sweet which was the parent of the Texas Legend. The both did very well for me. I got several 3" onions even planting almost in February and densely inter-planting with lettuce and carrots. I am hoping they do amazing given lots of space and early planting. Let me know if you are interested. |

| Sorry about that. I'd like to try them, I have quite a few snapdragon seeds and always have tons of tomato seeds if you want to try anything different. Tom |

| Tom and Derek - how did you guys make out with those onion transplants? I was pretty impressed with the Texas Legend. At least 1/3 of mine have been at least 1 lb with the biggest at 1.4 lbs. Derek - you just use organic fertilizer like fish emulsion right? I am curious how they did for you as I would like to not use synthetics if possible. |

| derbyk, I usually use chemical fertilizer but this year depended on rabbit pellets tilled into the soil. I was worried they weren't doing well but we have a nice crop. Most are in the range of 12 to 17 ounces. Usually also, we space them five inches. This year, at four inches, we had very few doubles - but no lunkers like many years. These are Texas Granex. Only one turned out white. |

| Hi Deb, TL didn't do much here, my Granex grown from seed did exceptionally well. The only problem is that I only grew 70 so we don't have many to store :-[ But, shuffles is my buddy, I think he grew 300+ :-) Tom |
