Re: Tomato Disappointment

Pam, have you ever considered moving to somewhere that gets just a bit more rainfall? Not so far from Kemp that you couldn't keep in touch with friends, but someplace else in TX so you could still be warm but also still not have to pay a fortune for water? None of my business I know. I know it would take a heckofalot for me to leave here, but just wondering if you'd thought about it.
