Chuck, What an odd reply to Catherine's question... I'm guessing that you must have been having a bad day or something. Anyway, have you looked into any of the software that lets you dictate your email so that you don't have to type? It might be helpful for your problem. All the best, --Michael In a message dated 9/2/99 11:17:48 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ChuckWyatt@compuserve.com writes: << Hi Catharine, I have stated before that I suffer from macular degradation and do not do long e mails. Your questions seem to indicate the need for a primer in tomato culture. I would suggest Carolyn Male's book "100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden." It seems to be written at a level you can uderstand. Good gardening, Chuck Wyatt www.heirloomtomatoes.net >>
