Thanks for the words of sympathy, Nan!

As it turns out, my brother-in-law is the corporate lawyer for the cranberry farm, go figure! I give him fresh tomatoes every year. So I asked him if he could represent us to sue his client, and defend his client at the same time, making sure I win!

No, not worth the time to pursue any compensation, we don't have any insurance. A retired farmer offered his land for me to grow this year, at an entirely different location. So we will be okay.

In the meantime, I am still going back to the island farm to grow winter squashes, which wasn't affected by the spray last year. Winter squashes produce well and keep well, very good for the food bank, and a lot less labor!

Have a great gardening year!
