Tomato plants

Positive indicators.  When two different friends offer their extra tomato plants grown from seed.  Here they are planted with a wire frame for support when they get bigger,  and netting to defend against rabbits and squirrels.  
Visited the hardware store to buy more netting - it's too tightly packed inside to permit separation, so customers don't go in any more - counter service only, with the counter  moved to tables outside the front door. Pre-orders pick up from the back door.  Back to shopping as it was before supermarkets.
