Lois, I never sucessfully grew a single tomato in Florida! I tried a number of times, but with the heat and all, they just never really turned out well. What a difference living in Virginia has made, though! Maters grow so nicely in this good old soil and the climate is evidently perfect!!

Around here in Carroll co. you can find wonderful and healthy plants at all the stands and in Galax at Walmart and Lowes building........Cana anywhere they have a plant stand.......they all do very good...I also use a flower garden for mine....and have great luck too. The produce stands around here are still getting theirs from SC and NC and some from Ga. I have been told...Food City in Galax sells all the local items that they can as the season arrives........love my maters! any maters! also the hot house ones from Walmart and Food Lion are a very good almost perfect mater too but sometimes a little pricey!

Jerry, I grew my maters last summer from seeds I collected from some I bought the previous year at the produce market. These were good old fashioned heirloom maters and I just saved the seeds and sprouted them the next summer. Grew yummy ones! I saved seeds from those, too.

Mary, I love to go down to Cana, to that big produce market at the state line! They have wonderful stuff! Last year, I grew the Purple ones, but have to say that Mr. Stripey's are my favorites!! I grew those, too. SO sweet! I'm going to sort of feel guilty now, enjoying our wonderful maters, knowing that some of our friends are still suffering with those store bought fakes...sorry y'all!!

They don't taste like tomatoes and they haven't the same color, smell, or consistency of tomatoes, Kat. I think they should call them something else so people don't start to think that these tasteless things are what tomatoes are! I call them "ersatz" tomatoes, 'cause they're poor imitations of real tomatoes, like during WWII, chicory was a poor substitute for coffee, and "oleo" was a poor substitute for butter. Carolyn I can understand about "oleo and chicory", but tomatoes—not. Doesn't anyone grow or have plants or seeds for real tomatoes, anymore. I'd make the effort to grow some around the house, if I knew where to get the seeds. But, I sure know what you mean, Carolyn. The texture is wrong, they are dry, and the flavor is absent. Jerry Lester

Come to Pulaski County then. T.A.'s roadside stand in Dublin, at the Rt. 100 & 11 interchange keeps them nearly all the time with many other varieties. We are so fortunate to have three excellent roadside stands in this county, with two being in Pulaski. They bring produce from Cana, VA to sell. The first homegrown tomatoes come from GA, then SC, then NC and finally VA. I've got two heirloom plants among my flower beds, a Cherokee Purple and Mr. Stripey. I'll think of all of you when I have my tomato, mayo and white bread sandwiches this summer.

There are many tomato fields in this area, they are picked green for shipping. Sometimes gasses are used to bring out the color. We are lucky to get "real" tomatoes during the season. I laugh when I see "vine tomatoes" advertised. Tomatoes all grow on vines. The store tomatoes would come in handy if you want ammunition for cannon practice.

I like yellow-eye beans...cant hardly find them anymore Paul keep the mail comin' to Ole Paul

My husband taught me a long time ago about the difference between "tomatoes" and "maters!" Tomatoes are those cardboard, pale pink, tasteless things they sell in the grocery store. Maters are home grown or local grown on real farms and are beautiful, tasty, colorful, juicy, and full of good flavor. You can NOT buy a "mater" in a store...and a MATER is the only thing that belongs on a sandwich, especially a MATER sandwich!! Last summer, I grew alot of my own (and not from store bought seeds, but from seeds taken from other heirloom maters!) We had mater heaven all summer long...it was awesome...sigh...
