mmmmmmmmmmm maters
Hop, this is a very serious matter and the most important thread ever started on this entire board. not kidding. there are no good maters in sowal. period. I don't care what people tell you. they ain't here. here is what you do.
call skunkape immediately and offer him whatever you have to offer him for a basket of creole tomatoes. he can bring them to you on his next trip back from NO. they are still in season. he brought me some. and they were the best.
maybe we need to give him a bundle of cash and ask for a few boxes.

You can have all the maters you want in July and August. Seems like they all get ripe at once and I have more than I can ever eat or give away cause everyone else in the hood has maters too. 
:roll: They grow really well down here. You just have to plant your own, which are about 1000 times better than any gassed tomatoes which you buy at the store. ;-)
p.s. As many offers as you've had for Florida maters, they ain't home maters. (Not that I miss surfing at all.)
p.s. again: Saw your baby bro tonight.

Guy Clark wrote a song about HomeGrown Tomatoes
There's nothin' in the world that I like better than
Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning and out in the garden
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Every time I go out and pick me a big'un
{Refrain}
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without home grown tomatoes
There's only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
You can go out and eat 'em, that's for sure
But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure
You can put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
You can make your own, very own tomato juice
You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy
You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em on the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
{Refrain}
If I could change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
I know what this country needs
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be pushin' up home grown tomatoes
There's nothin' in the world that I like better than
Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning and out in the garden
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Every time I go out and pick me a big'un
{Refrain}
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without home grown tomatoes

Oh man I can't wait. 'Mater samiches are the best.
The real question is, who loves to eat tomatoes more than my dogs? You've heard of people putting up rabbit fences around the garden? I may need to put up a dog fence around my maters.
