"Jeff Knoll is a conservative, Sean O'Meara is a liberal, Rob Burton is best buds with Rob Ford"...whilst Julia leads into campaign promises with the Italian word 'Basta' (trans. enough, no more).
Imagine the societal melt down if an Arab-Canadian mayoral candidate used a similar word like 'khalas' (trans. done, enough, finished) in their campaign promises.

Hello. I grew these from black brandywine seed but they look nothing like a brandywine.
Flavour is sweet, smokey; low acidity, low juice; thick skinned, medium-large size.
I know the Permanent Waves album cover was altered for the USA market (newspaper headline deletion on left of image) but was always told a Coca Cola sign (right of image) was deleted for all markets. Instead, the names Lee, Peart, Lifeson were legally supplanted.
Does a true example of the original album artwork exist?
So much the good people in the city, different languages and culture. Toronto Stadium is great experience against New Jersey and the Dallas Stadium atmosphere.

My in-laws always make a fuss about refusing *especially* monetary gifts.
​
Regardless of who is giving the gift -- there's always a drama show about not accepting....until it's allowed -- after a "hands up in the air, loud voices" show.
​
Is this the standard throughout the Balkans? To make children feel guilty?
Black brandywine from seed, grown as seedling in same pot as campari (I ran out of space and wanted a couple more plants), transplanted to separate pot and hardened off.
​
The plant itself does not have potato leaves -- it looks like a typical bushy cherry tomato plant. But this fruit does not look like a cherry tomato.
​
Will this turn out to be some sort of hybrid? I have no idea what the parent plant(s) looked like or the type of tomato they were -- the fruit in the picture is from seeds I saved from a lunch salad.

Apologies for the terrible image.
Looks like a pike body but the head is very small, eyes are very forward, pectoral fins are much further back than a pike. No discernable patterns on the body.

These two pots have been grown from black brandywine seed -- seeds I saved from previous tomatoes.
Any idea why the leaves are nothing like brandywine leaves? These look like cherry tomatoes.
