re: Good article about Creole tomatoes

My buddy owns a produce stand in the French Market that I used to work at. They have the Creole Tomato Festival down there every summer, so we would ride down the river quite often to load up on cases of fresh picked Creoles. The soil down there puts a little "citrus-y" taste that is noticeable in the tomato meat. Of course, I would explain this to Mom and Pop Tourist and it would blow there Kansas minds. People LOVE good Creoles.

River silt, or pump sand, is great. I have worked a lot of landscaping jobs in my life. We spread it out when laying sod and it is great for allowing small roots under grass squares to run and set in.

I also grew a "personal consumption" plant with a sweet, sweet leaf at my house once in Nola, complete outdoor grow. I used a combination of good ole dirt, river silt, and compost and baby girl was just the belle of the ball.
