Fist fight? No one attempted a rear naked choke? 

I wasn't there but it happened at midfield after the game.

Was just wondering after polishing off my 2nd home made globe sized artichoke stuffed to the gills.  I know, what’s the relevance. There is none. 

Do you deliver?

What part of the country Gene? Here in PA planting season typically begins on or about Mothers Day - a time of the year free of any potential frost. 

What types of tomatoes do you enjoy? My top two are Roma and Beefsteak.

I've tried growing san marzanos before but I failed to get any fruit from the plant.  I'm awful at gardening although I do keep trying to improve.

yea I’m not the greatest at gardening either. Never thought of San Marzano seeds, in fact I’ve never seen seeds for this type. Many US companies mass produce canned tomatoes under the name San Marzano but only those stamped DOT (designation of origin) imported from Italy are the real deal. Farms near Mount Vesuvius where their imported from claim the volcanic soil sets them apart as far as taste than all other tomato types. A bit sweeter and my Dad always had imported SM cans  on hand along with dried mushrooms and other imports.

I got it from a local garden center and it never bore any fruit - so its also possible I was working with a different variety than what was claimed

I grow a superpaste heirloom. Looks like a pepper more than a tomato. long pointed and bigger than San marzano.

My dad smuggled seeds in 1978 and i regen them every year.  Just planting seeds indoors, plants go out Memorial day. Central New York native now in Ct.

Now that I find fascinating! Beautiful red results and the paste sounds delicious! Nice garden too! I grew up on Long Island and my Dad got me invoked at an early age, however after taking a job transfer to the mid Atlantic, my home in central PA was surrounded by trees and the canopy prevented direct sunlight needed for growth. Just bought a new home elsewhere with lots of natural sunlight so this year I get to resurrect skills from long ago. Thanks for sharing that Gene - such a great tradition you’re following since the late 1970’s!
