Re: My Must-Have Tomato

I love "Big Rainbow" it's big & sweet and the color is beautiful!

Re: Things I love in theory

I used to feel the same way. It all started with fishing and I could never touch the worms to bait my hook. Finally, my family refused to do it for me and I started to use rubber gloves. I could touch them without actually touching them. After years of this I finally got over it, I can touch them and they don't scare me any more but occasionally when I dig up a big wiggly one when I am planting, I have to resist that urge to jump and shreek! I think it's that Eve adn the Garden of Eden thing - little snakes? LOL!
