But I noticed yesterday       that my neighbor has a couple of newly forming       tomatoes on one of the plants I gave her, but hers have       some shade, so maybe it kept the temperature a bit       cooler in her back yard than mine have in full sun on       my deck.              YMMV.              Nyssa, who is tired of both the squishy lawn and       the too hot and too bumid conditions              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
