Carolyn, Craig, Tatianna, Fred, Darrell, Tom, and even Darrell Kellogg and I would never had personal discussions if social media was relied upon. In my remaining gardening years I will steadfastly remain on the gardening websites frequented over the years, me here since Jan 2006...not many 2006ers left.
I'm tryna remember when a bunch of posters migrated away from a site called "Gardenweb" and a dedicated forum for tomatoes there.

Was that 2006? Seems like ages ago; my youngest was 9, and ate cherry tomatoes like a fiend, but wouldn't do much else in the garden.

Now she has an amazing set of raised beds in her Minneapolis yard, and won a ribbon at the state fair for a tomato I got from Darryl/Fusion about then.

Darryl, if you're listening I still grow Tastiheart/HeShPoLe every year, and a few other locals do too.
