And if you grow a little medicinal herb w/the tomatoes, you'll gooble those 'matoes right up!
When I started tx in may 2002, i planted a garden w/lotsa 'matoes and herbs. By the end of tx 24wks later I was mellow, no longer 'yellow' and the 'matoes were heavy on the vine. All my riba rage went into hoein' and sowin', weedin' and reapin'.
This yr I'm plantin' a 'victory' garden w/lotsa herbs and 'matoes. For you know its true what the old song says, 'Only 2 things money can't buy, is true, true love and home grownm tomatoes!'
