In my fairly sleepless state last night I turned on the TV and found an
Infomercial about tomato plants. They didn't mention this variety but said
you could get Beefsteak *climbing* tomato TREES. Only $32. Huh? And for
free they'd throw in another sort of tomato vine. Have your credit card
ready! The tomatoes looked sickly and pale. Trust me, it wasn't my
television set. It's not time for tomatoes here yet even were I so inclined
to try to grow them on my patio (which I'm not).
