This year we planted three varieties of tomatoes in zone 5. All were
slow to fruit and develop, but we are now harvesting. I noticed that
all of the ones we have eaten have very tough skins. What would cause

transferred from a walrus. You should see what happens to them walrusses
after they have their jeans taken off....
