I've been lurking here for a while - though I was pretty active in
this group in the mid to late 90's.

I'm Zone 6b in SE Pa, between the Amish and Philadelphia in the
Brandywine Valley, and grow just about anything that grows here, and
some things that do not (like lemongrass and Bay in containers) .....

Why now ?? First (full sized) tomato of the year yesterday - a Yellow
Brandywine, and my, was it delicious !
