There are a few different definitions:

1. A shape of tomato, which is typical of large tomatoes. Not quite round. It need not belong to a large tomato (i.e. Menehune is a small beefsteak-shaped tomato).
2. There is an actual breed of tomato called Beefsteak, which is said to be synonymous with Fejee Improved, Crimson Cushion, and/or Ponderosa Red.
3. A large, beefsteak-shaped tomato (e.g. Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, etc.)
4. A certain type of firm, slicing tomato.

Surprisingly, people don't actually call steaks beefsteaks, as far as I know!

Q: What is a slicer?

A: A slicer is a tomato that works well for fresh-eating (whether or not you slice it is beside the point). Some people use the term literally, however (but be aware that some common usage has nothing to do with slicing).

It's like Life cereal, but it tastes like strawberries. That's pretty much what I have to say. No actual berries are in it. It's pretty good cereal. A little sugary.

This is a great, configurable app, so far. I just got it a few hours ago or so. You can even change the pitch of the beep, and configure what it says. You can have multiple chime configurations/schedules.

You can now use the equivalent of hashtags, which I just call tags. You'll notice a Tag button when composing messages. Just use that on some text, and it'll insert code that makes it work like a hashtag. Don't remove the underscores, or it won't work.

This is pretty exciting for me, especially as you can add lots of tags at once, and the feature shouldn't slow the site down.

I consider the idea of how to do it miraculous.

I can definitely imagine that olive powder would be a great thing, as a culinary spice. See this site:

It's well-known that epazote is said to reduce flatulence from bean dishes.

Bean dishes don't tend to give me gas, but they feel a lot more nutritious to me if I add epazote. I get a stronger feeling of well-being and have more of an appetite for the food. I don't know if it affects anyone else that way. I noticed that I got such a feeling with sweet potatoes in a soup, too (which soup had epazote). Anyway, I tolerate sweet potatoes okay (not perfectly), but they feel much better with the epazote! I wonder what kinds of sugar they contain. I similarly don't know if epazote helps anyone else with sweet potatoes.

I moved the lists of forums to the Links forum for easier access (and to reduce clutter in such as the Plant forum).

I added lists of links for greens, herbs, and livestock.

I've begun to implement my version of hashtags (which I just call tags). Nabble doesn't come with this functionality, but it does allow us to create it ourselves. See the new Tag button. Hopefully I'll improve it today (so users don't have to worry about formatting them properly). Whatever the case, it's still good to have. However, in retrospect, I'm glad to have had a significant amount of time learning how to do things without hash tags, before the idea of how to do this struck me.

How to create hashtags:


Tags (as used on this website) are essentially the same thing as hashtags. The only difference is that all tags contain at least one underscore, and tags do not begin with a #.

When composing a message, press the Tag button and type in a tag. If you type spaces, they will be converted to underscores. If you only type a single word, it will put an underscore on the end of it. The underscores let searches recognize them as unique. Without them, it would often include things without the specific tag.

Selecting text and pressing the Tag button also works.

If you select multiple lines, it will make a new tag out of each line. If you add commas or semi-colons, it will treat each space between them as a new tag.

Only use alphanumeric characters in your tags.

Here are some example tags:

tag_
example_tag

Tags are just text and links to search results for your text. They don't slow things down. Use them as much as you want.

I wonder if this would work for the folks in areas like Florida and Texas, for when they plant tomatoes and other crops:
