Use pennies, ten dollars worth is a lot and you get your money back at the
end of the day.
Are you just doing 'red' tomatoes? I am courious what the contenders are
and of course which wins.
When I read the header, it reminded of a 'tomato tasting' that one of our
customers had with our tomatoes. I told her to do it the same as a wine
tasting, start with the lights and move to the darks - Hillbilly first,
Mountain Gold, Brandywine, Mule Team, then Cherokee I think.
