Here is something you gardeners might not be aware of. Did you know there is a distinct difference between types of tomatoes.
They are determinant and indeterminant.
Determinants have shorter growing seasons
and produce fewer, smaller fruit/tomatoes.
Indeterminants have a longer growing season
and produce more fruit/tomatoes.
Examples of determinants are:
Bella Rosa, Bush Early Girl and Crlebrity.
Those of the indeterminant variety
are Beefy Boy, Black Cherry (cherry size)
Carmelo and Champion.
These are just a few. It depends on your purpose, how long you want your tomatoes
to last, and how many.
I personally want mine to be bigger and produce well into the fall, if possible. This year i bought:
Beefy Boy, Carmelo & Champion.
There are many more varieties of both types on sale at any Lowe’s, Houston G Center, Home Depot or at Harris Co. Master GardenersAssoc.

Great article in the Chronicle on “Whatever happened to wons?” in the Sports section. It includes comments about Verlander, but also others pitchers of this era, about the mythical 300 wins for major league pitchers, to reach the the M League Hall of Fame. Great discussion about 250 being the new 300! Verlander is approaching 200 (197) this season. If his arm healthy and he maintains as a starter, he could reach +/- 250 by
2021-22. Could.

It was great seeing all the competitive runners out at the annual Cross Country Relays at Stude Park Sat. am. Grassy parts of the course were some what damp, but over all, it was fine.
Not sure what the results were, but everyone was having fun!

I would like to reflect on my relationship with Al Lawrence. It was one of respect and admiration.
He had a wonderful disposition, always a sunny smile and a kind word.
I feel the tremendous loss of the whole running club and all beyond with those, that he trained.
Gratitude and respect were shown by all the Houston running community he touched. Former mayoral candidates, Olympic champions, past president of HARRA, and many members of all the Greater Houston running clubs of Houston.
One man's character, demeanor, and love brought them all together.
