[Summit] to Gardeners- Bonnie Husky Cherry Tomatoes are NOT

[Breslers]

UPDATE: Bonnie Plants responded to my email, almost immediately, on a
Sunday! For that I am impressed with them folks. They say they are going to
straighten things out- that they will send a "grower" to stores in our area
to check for mislabeled plants. Maybe I was actually the first to notice?
Duh? Or just nobody bothered to tell anyone? Crazy, considering how many
people are probably NOT going to appreciate that their tomatoes aren't
cherry...
