Child of the 1006 "The Living Dead" Obituary 6/24/98 - 8/31/98


The Child of the 1006 "The Living Dead", passed away yesterday from the fatal
Blossom End Split that occurred on 8/7.  Cause of death was contamination of
the seed cavity from air getting in at the time of the split.  An autopsy  was
conducted tonight and well matured seeds were removed.  A Dark Gray Mold
covered 25% of the bottom of the cavity spreading outward from the blossom
end.  There was little advanced decay except for one spot in the front.

A Photo taken just after the split is available at:

A few words were said at a service held in the garden before the burial in the
compost tonight.  Hopefully it’s child "Nitro" will do better next year from
it's seed.

George
