Crap! I was hoping the numbers were being exaggerated. I make sauce every week, this is gonna suck. - Krusty Mar 8, 09:26 8
- I just have to bide my time until NC tomatoes come about in late spring/early summer. Hopefully they fared okay. I'm not sure. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 8, 09:29 1
  - I'm not sure of their flavor but hopefully they'll be fine for sauce. I'll keep an eye for them. -- nm - Krusty Mar 8, 09:33
- stock up now... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:27 5
  - Good idea, which ever supermarket has the best deal in the next week is getting cleaned out. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 8, 09:30 4
    - get enough to last until you can get fresh local ones at your nearest greenmarket -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:32 3
      - Do you know if oranges were affected as badly? -- nm - Krusty Mar 8, 09:33 2
        
        haven't heard anything, really... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:35 1
        
        I just checked and the orange crop report doesn't come out until April. - Krusty Mar 8, 09:37
Yay! -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:17
Wendy's here has a sign up that says tomatos will be only given upon request -- nm - crash davis Mar 8, 09:16
yup, they had a sign at a Wendy's here that they were providing tomatoes by request only. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:16 3
- Same here - but this is OK for me, because normally the only request I make is for NO tomatoes. Heh. - Beryllium Mar 8, 09:29 1
  - same here. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:30
- also, this reminds me to find out if they ever received our reservation deposit for our CSA membership this year. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:18
