I hate it when I receive a reply to a message that I have not yet  
seen. James' posts probably have to be carried up out of the hollow  
via seriously old, brittle phone wire on up to civilization for a few  
hours or so before actually getting out onto the world-wide web.

I do totally agree with the excerpt above. Cannot imagine living  
without tomatoes and peppers, although I did get to the place of not  
eating potatoes for quite awhile. I will, however, focus a bit more  
on producing potatoes with the least solanine. Once I get the  
Heartwood garden back into production I intend to experiment with  
some dark-skinned varieties. And do more research.
