"and referred to me as a tomato guru"
Ah, but Carolyn, you truly are a "guru". My DH doesn't get too involved in my gardening world, but we both know a "National Treasure" when we see one, and you fill the bill.
And there is only one other NT that we're aware of and that would be a guy in south FL , who heads several Rare Fruit Councils, knows all off the fruits by their latin names, and spreads his love and plants around to local schools and parks. Big wave to Alan, ya know who ya are
But then there are so many other great people here that further the research and betterment of OP varieties, Craig, Tom, Tom, and I would like to thank the Academy.......
