Better in the woods than in our new gardens... There are a couple million acres back there and some rather nasty areas where nuthin' grows but nasty sticky bushes... I was thinkin' of takin' them one at a time and let them live with the sticky bushes... No one will ever see them because no one wants to go anywhere near them sticky bushes...

Prinophyllum is actaully one of the 17 native decidious azaleas that grow all over Virginia and North Carolina mountains... We have it growing at about 800 feet above us in the mountains... They are difficult to transplant but can be grown quite nicely from seed... There are some folks in Tennessee that grow lots of natives from seed... I'm not too sure if they ship but I do know they have a nursery... Where are you again, maeve???

As fir the tomatoes??? My thinking is that you'd not want to stress out a root system that is trying to develope itself without the addded strain of making fruit... I'd oinch them off, as well as any suckers, to give that plant a good root system to prodice some serious fruit later down the road...
