I sent you an e-mail and Thank you so much for making this available :)

Donna

I sent you an e-mail requesting it also. =) I want to study up for next year. If it doesn't make it through our spam filter here, i'll re-send the request from my external e-mail.

Ted:

How about saving yourself some trouble. Post it on http://www.yousendit.com and just give the link here. It will then be available for 7 days for anyone to download.

Johnny, I'm a fan ol' Blue Eyes and I like to do it "MY WAY". I'm aware of several places that will accept the file and make it available, but none of them give me direct feedback. Here, in this mode, I get feedback on both how it is good, and also how I might make it better. 'Nuff said!!!!

Request rate is brisk. That makes me happy.

I would like to remind everyone that once you have your copy, you can add more toms and peppers to the two spreadsheets provided AND you can also add additional sheets to the file where you can keep other types of vegetables or ornamental plants. You can insert columns to keep additional data points YOU want.

Enjoy,

Ted

Ted:

I didn't mean to offend you. I was just trying to help in case you get alot of request. I do realized afterwards that a week is not nearly enough time anyways. BTW, thanks to you, I have make a few 5 gallon SWC and they are doing great.

what information is on the spreadsheet since I am new at this?

thank you,

dusty

Johnny, there's no problem - no offense meant and none taken. Glad to see you're getting into the 5 gallon mode for some varieties. I'm still making them for my Russian determinates. I really like the concept of total control of the growing medium.

And, dusty, if you are new to growing tomatoes and peppers, then you will find a wealth of information in the spreadsheet. It is truly meant for new growers like yourself. It lists tomatoes and peppers and what you might expect while growing a specific variety. It does not list all varieties, but lets you see that there's something else beyond the few varieties sold at the big box stores.

Ted

Thanks so much for posting info on the spreadsheet! I'll def be using this next year. My 20 x 40 garden has 15 types of tomatoes and 6 types of peppers...just a few of each in addition to the lettuce, cucs and other things. I'm on the search for the "perfect tomato sandwich" and making my own relish and salsa this year.

Next year will be much easier....after I figure out which tomatoes and peppers like to grow here! :) Thanks again! LcGrace

Ted: Got it...thanks! =)

Bump

Lots of requests each day. I'm glad folks can use this.

Ted

It's more than just helpful, man. =) I don't think there's many (if any) better lists out there with all the information on yours. I plan on adding a tab for my personal results/data with each tomato type I grow.

- Steve

Yeah, Steve. You are the perfect example of why I put it out for the general public.

IT'S ADAPTABLE.

Plus, I should emphasize that concerning the data within it, your results may vary slightly. :>)

Ted

Thanks, Ted. Just received it. Really useful.

Quick Q (and one I had from your other spreadsheet, too). What does the column "Bask Cont" for tomatoes mean? Does it mean you can grow it in Baskets or Containers? Thanks!

glchen, that's exactly right. The plant size will be small enough to allow you to use baskets or smaller containers (like 5 gallons) to grow the plant EASILY. My personal experience says that any tomato can be grown in a container of 15 gallons or more.

The smaller the container, the more often one must attend to the water needs of the plant.

Ted

Thank you for the spreadsheet and I have already used my first column for entering this years mates and peps that we are growing such as (2009).
Dusty

Dusty, a column I keep on my working copy is how many seeds I am saving from this year's crop. I also have a count of how many seeds I already have from 2008 and before, and where/from whom I got them. It makes a great quick reference when seed trading time comes.
