> Hi, My name's Toni and I'm a tomatomaniac ;-)

Hi, Toni. I'm Gene. Welcome to MM, Mator Madness. MM is here to help  
us all. You are safe here. I have been addicted to tomatoes for  
seventy years. My finest experience was about 1985, the year some  
unknown malady devastated all my friends' gardens and they all came  
to Heartwood and oohed and ahed and took away buckets and buckets of  
juicy fruit. Andy Warhol was wrong; I was a hero for at least fifteen  
hours. I presume my garden escaped the tomato gods' wrath because of  
isolation and clearly superior gardening techniques. What is your  
favorite tomato story?
