[Summit] to Gardeners- Bonnie Husky Cherry Tomatoes are NOT

[Andrew Nosal]

been to Four Town Farms yet?

Also, I once bought a large tomato plant at the farmers market.

Next year go the City Farm plant sale, in May.

I stay away from the monster stores as much as possible.  I have not  
spent a cent at walmart ever.
