I was finely able to get a good tomato from the plants and brought it in to ripen.
As was with the San Marzano the first ones were bland. This last one was tangy and acidic and paired well with a dab of salt. One of the plants however has came down with the black death. ![]() Worth |

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Black_Prince Black Death to me suggests the plague and what was done in medieval times was for folks to flee that area if they couldn't kill all the rats, or were trying to protect themselves from the respiratory transmission, was to carrry a small nosegay of flowers under their nose. So I do hope you have some flowers in the garden, ![]() And now a link for those who once sang that ditty of Ring around the Rosy as I did when I was a kid and had no idea what it really meant. http://healthdecide.orcahealth.com/2.../#.VX8cf5t16bE Carolyn

No yellowing of the leaves or anything just wilt and die. ![]() It must be the non respiratory strain from the time ofJustinian541 AD as none of the other plants are doing it. ![]() I didn't know what that song meant either until I went to London. ![]() Worth |

To the left of my computer on the floor are all of my SSE YEarbooks going way back, and sadly, in no particule order although the most recent ones are near the top of each of the stacks.
All to say that it won't be soon that I'll have to deconstruct those stacks to find the earlier ones from the late 80's early 90's, so please don't sit near your computer waiting for an answer. ![]() Fact is, later in the summer you might want to PM me to remind me about looking since being in this walker I can't do it by myself and would need one of my helper persons to do that, and I don't mean my old cat either, since she has no interest in tomatoes at all. ![]() Carolyn
