Hi Dan, Welcome to OT. I'm in Minnesnowta as well. Nice summer we are having here isn't it - NOT! I still have yet to see any sign of ripening on a single tomato in my garden :-( Heard on TV that if we don't get some heat soon that a lot of tomatos won't ripen at all before frost. At least we got a little rain today. Where in Minnesota are you at? I'm from Owatonna originally and live in Brooklyn Park nowadays and work in Eden Prairie.
