what about choclate tomatoes, or black tomatoes, or purple tomatoes, or even a purple people eatin' tomato.....

Patti, I gave up at one point and got those landscape fabric pins. I had the brilliant idea of using cut up clothes hangars and after wearing out my poor little hands and about poking my eye out, I figured the effort wasn't worth expending all that energy and caved. It is much easier to rip open a bag of 75 landscape fabric pins and not have to worry about a trip to the E.R. I am deadly with a pair of wire cutters. Ha!
