Thank you for telling us how you are doing. So far, so good, except for Lynn, who had some damage. Keep us informed about your well-being!

About your tomatoes--tomatoes are self-pollinating, but you are right on with the overhead watering causing less pollination. The pollen gets...
Well, I finally decided, and got a 7 cup Cuisinart food processor. It came yesterday, and is going back today. The thing has two lids--one with...
