Gardening

.... the seeds from my tomatoes come "true to the parent plant's type"
in >80% of the time. At least from seeds that i have collected and sent
on to other people. I don't have time to grow my tomatoes from seed
so i buy them already started.

Both of those books are really great.

Thanx for the Cherokee Purple ..... it is one of my favorites. I planted
a "Sun Sugar" tomato this season and although it is good it is not as good
as "Sun Gold" ..... At least for this season Arkansas Travelor has done much
better then a Mr. Stripey or a Hillbilly.

BTW monarchs are now highly endangered ..... their wintering grounds in Mexico
have gone from about 160 sq. hecters in the early 1990s to .7 sq. hectors last
year. But I have noticed many more this year then last year on some of my projects.

if you send me your address by DU's pmail I'll send you a few jars of salsa that
I can .... just let me know if you like it spicey ...... serrano peppers are wonderful
hoter then a jalapeno but not as hot as a haberno.
