RE: Tomato Variety and problem (was RE: Planting time)

I am coming out of my busy silence to say this.  I think Beth is right. I 
grow about just any variety of tomato I can get my hands on.  This year a 
friend of the family who owns a nursery GAVE me all my bedding plants; 
flowers and veggies.  Unfortunately because of the tornado here last week I 
could not get some of my french marigolds planted and they do look the worse 
for wear.  All my other veggies and flowers seem to be doing well.  I kept 
them alive by giving them turns in the shower.  This garden is definitely a 
labour of love this year.  My pepper plants seem to be the only things that 
didn't droop for a bit of time.  At any rate I know that my garden will 
prosper cause I take to heart all the wise tips I see here on the veggie 
list.
Thanks a lot for being here.

PS I save all the bits of garden lore and info on my notepad ....then I edit 
for repeats and print it.
