[AT] garden question; potatoes

[Richard Fink Sr]

Mike Herb i spoke to soon on the garden. Went out today Sunday and saw that 
some of my tomatoes were turning white. Have never seen this before we get 
the virus in this area and they turn black. Beans out of 12 hills 6 have 
broke the ground. looks like i will have a good crop of onions and radisas. 
Swisschard one hill dead one still growing. [Must be global warming] I have 
never been a farmer just had grand parents that were must not paid enough 
attention.
