Well, Jo, yes. But my tomato-seed-swapping-friend Ray in NM has a saying on his wall, “My therapist is a tomato plant.”
Somehow I don’t see a cure, do you?

I remember the years I was growing 100+ varities for our family…..Well cut back to 85, then 65, 45, and this year most likely 24. Two people can only eat so many tomatoes, and now the kids have their own gardens.
