 Hi Ruth
 
 BG>  We applied for a new drivers license with passport privileges.  They
 BG>  arrived in 4 days.  The state handles them, while passports have to
 BG>  be handled by the feds.
  
 BG>  It's new this spring.  They are only valid for Canada, Mexico and

 RH> OK, but that's just like the passport card.
 
 Exactly right, but combined with a drivers license. 
 
  BG>  So far as I know, just border states. They are issued by the state.

 RH> And, since NC isn't a border state--except to VA, SC, TN, etc
 RH> (G)....... 
 
 And those in fact are more foreign than any Canadian Province in their 
 way of thinking so maybe you should need a passport... :-)
 
 RH> Meanwhile, as we wait, we are begining to get color on a tomato.  I
 RH> counted 11 on the plants today; Steve spotted the first bit of color.
 RH> There are more blossoms so we should be eating fresh tomatoes for a
 RH> few weeks into the fall.
 
 BG>  That will be great.  I'm getting tomatoes off the one in the ground,
 BG>  the thing hanging in the air gave me two or three. I just threw
 BG>  away four yesterday from it with stem rot.  It will not be used
 BG>  next year.

 Picked a couple this morning off the "thing."   They are small. All of
 my tomatoes are small this year.  
 
 RH> We do plan on using ours next year.  We bought 2 but only put one up.
 RH> Next year we will put both up, probably get a couple more as well.  Do
 RH> 3 with tomatoes, one with peppers maybe.
 
 Just keep in mind they have to be watered daily, the pot with a hole 
 in the bottom leaks it all out.  Maybe next year I will try with more 
 dirt and less potting soil.  My daughter put the dirt in it. I just 
 found a place to hang it.   The neighbor behind me has three of them
 hanging from his clothes line pole.  All are dead now.  The neighbor 
 next door went on vacation for a week and his dried up and died during
 that week
  
 BG>  Luckily the Farm Market has nice big ones for 79 cents a pound.  I'm
 BG> not  suffering.  Had a nice grilled cheese with a tomato slice covered
 BG> with  oregano for lunch today.

 RH> Nice; the Farmer's Market we usually go to was pretty much out of them
 RH> on Saturday. I didn't get any but our first will be ready for eating
 RH> soon.  There's another one coming along well behind that and a 3rd
 RH> getting just a blush of color.

 I don't really go to a farmers market as many stands have come to be
 called, but go to a vegetable farm where the farmers market stand folks
 go to buy their things to sell.   Good sweet corn is now $1 a dozen. 
 A bushel of tomatoes for canning are $6...   Good place to buy veggies.
