Here's irony for you, I got a good laugh this morning when I realized that of the 8 varieties of tomato I have going right now, the two dwarf plants are not only the most productive, they're also the biggest plants of them all! Dwarf is a relative term, apparently.

Does anybody in the tomato seed swap happen to have bee balm seeds? JBarstool is looking for some. I checked the plant (deep red, not Jacob Cline) on my deck just now, but any seeds are long gone.
