Default Covid is wrecking the flavor of my heirlooms

So here I am at the peak of tomato production and my wife and I both come down with Covid last week. And for the last 3 days my taste buds have left the country. My wonderful SOTW, Brandywine, Polish, Dester, Indian Stripe, Vladyka, King Kong, AGP, and Lucky Cross all taste like styrofoam. This is terrible is all I can say

That is so sad! I hope you are in possession of your taste buds again very soon.

Purple Calabash is my biggest Chop this year, Poor Customers!! Amen!!!


I am so sorry you'll are suffering from Covid. I Pray: you both get Well, Amen in Jesus Name.

I survived working in 100 degrees Hot summer of 2022 with a Hubby suffering from Covid. I wish I had your Amish Dexter Tomatoes to eat, as I lost my Whole Crop of Desters for the first time, with News Amish Desters Plants growing for a Spring Miracle.


Get Better to send me some of your Desters Tomatoes.

If I could send them to you I would. But I tried sending them to my brother in New Hampshire a few weeks ago and he never got them. Just a note from UPS saying "they didn't make it". Thanks for your prayers.

The Joyce Dockter Heirloom Tomatoes from Ukraine "from the Late Dr. Carolyn Tomato Collection I grew this year is the only Tomato that has a "Long Time Shelflife". Maybe next year I will try to Mail them out, only.

Keep getting well from that Covid before working hard again, Amen!!!!!!!.
