"-I've started Rutgers, Roma, Early Girl, Beefsteak, and Big Boy tomatoes. Have never grown Brandywine. Also have over 18 little asparagus seedings to put one of my new flowerbeds." I love the Roma tomato for juice, and beefsteak tomatoes for bacon and tomato sandwiches (my favorite thing)...Brandywine is a later heirloom tomato that BIL always grows for his Mormon Church donations. They are large tomato with big cores, but excellent flavor; I beg him for some every year now. Dh has never cared for asparagus, but I might start a bed anyway.
Dublb, I think if I draw your name, I am sending the packet to you by UPS. Your TEXAS PO system is really messed up big time. Thoughts of priority or registered mail might work but if the lawyers did that and it still did not come through, then its UPS's turn to do the job right. The main thing is the same as Pony Express Days..."The mail must go through!!" How frustrating that it fails in today's world.
Have fun with grandchildren, OKsewGlad.
Carrie, glad the Chrio helped you.
Safe journey, Honchey.
