Does this look like I might have some extra?
I'm not saying that I am offended or anything but I do find a large chasm existing between folks like me and the general public. I mean, if I am going to plant 40 tomato plants, I must have a reason, right? Why would someone like me, with a family of two plant that many tomatoes unless I have a plan for them? It would be just crazy otherwise! I realize that most folks buy a couple starts and maybe get a tad carried away and plant several and then have extras to share. Not us, we planted 40 so that we could dry and can. Gardening is a more than a hobby, it is a little bit about self-sufficiency a little bit about independence and a little bit about really, really good food. Asking me for a tomato is akin to asking me for $5.
With that being said, I am not completely heartless. I am selfish with our garden goods but I do occasionally have it in my heart to give one or two to a friend. I always ask them not to tell anybody, though.
