Now there's an idea. Mischka should start a new site co-dependencyville.com, with sections covering the variety of addictions: vegetables, ciggies, coke, Coke, sweets, etc. With ads. He could become rich.

If your friend's eyes start to roll back in their heads when you start talking about growing tomatoes, then you're a tomatoholic.

Hi Spike, my name is tarheelchick and I'm a tomatoholic.

The next year, I discovered heirlooms and had to make sure my family was happy and I added some more plants to my garden to see what I was missing. After a good year and happy family, I saw so many cool varieties, I had to expand my garden to 100+ plants, but the varmits were getting many of my tomatoes, so the next year I had to plant more tomatoes to help offset what the varmits got. After seeing the benefits of taking up more of my back field and realizing that it was an area that I now didn't have to mow, I expanded my garden further and added another 100+ plants. Then, I found someone who actually sold heirloom tomatoes, I sold some to them and realized I needed more plants to make it worth while, so I eventually ended up with 350+ plants this year. I had very good reasons to get to the point where I am now and do not have a problem!

That's one pretty cool thing about indeterminate tomatoes, muskmelons and tomatillos. They smother the weeds, and everything else. I put my tomatoes and tomatillos next to our neighbors' chainlink fence with morning glory, grass, lambsquarter, etc. on it, this year.
