Gary et al.-

You had best believe that I will be there, and will come 'loaded for bear'!!! Last year, I brought a mediocre Italian Giant tomato just to see if I could find out more about it. You (and others) talked me into entering it in the competition -- 5th place 'tickled me to death'!!!!

Watch out CHOPTAG -- KY is 'moving in'... {lol} I just might bring enough 'maters to give the Ohio and NC crews a REAL 'run for the money"!

Now for a serious question: we had a cold snap a week ago - every aphid in the county moved into my hoop house and onto my 'for sale' 'mater transplants... I refuse to prespray plants before I sell them, and have been recommending that my customers start with water spray - then insecticidal soap - then Sevin - then .... Are there any other suggestions?
