I didn't know about the properties of white mulberries by 2011, but it definitely could have helped me then (albeit, the flu isn't what I'm thinking about there).

I got this book for a college class. It talks about flying foxes a lot. So, if you're into flying foxes, I would recommend it. It's a personal narrative (which in this case is a lot like a novel, but true). I don't have the book anymore, but I enjoyed it.
It's about a scientist whose mother has cancer. He goes to Samoa seeking to study plants in search of a cure. However, he ends up learning a lot about Samoan culture (which is quite interesting), and he studies flying foxes a lot. I don't remember the rest. (I read it years ago.)
The cultural aspects remind me somewhat of the movie called The Other Side of Heaven (which is based on a book by John H. Groberg). However, there are no flying foxes in The Other Side of Heaven, and Tonga is the location instead of Samoa. FYI: The Other Side of Heaven is religious (it's about a missionary who belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints); it's also a romance of sorts. Anne Hathaway is in the movie.

2014 tomato grow-list
All were purchased plants, and came from The Home Depot, with bonnieplants.com tags.
• Bush Goliath F1 (1; very late; a handful of tomatoes with comparable taste to Roma)
• Early Girl F1 (2; prolific; early; my favorite tomato for taste; acidic when still orange)
• Husky Cherry Red F1 (1; regular decent tomato taste to me, but my dad loved them; tomatoes split; prolific; compact dwarf indeterminate; slow-growing, but it keeps growing; all-season; early)
• Lemon Boy F1 (1; reasonable productivity; acidic; decent taste)
• Park’s Whopper F1 (1; not prolific; great taste and texture)
except for $Yādtåōps,
• Roma (2; very prolific; nippled)
I grew one other kind (and that was from seed).

These were all grown from seed. A number of the plants were at least semi-stunted this year (and produced under-sized fruit). This was my first year growing many tomatoes from seed. None were purchased as plants. I started them extremely early indoors under fluorescent lights (incandescent for Yellow Pear) and windowsill light. I grew many plants extra large indoors on purpose, in order to try transplanting them super deep, experimentally. Most of them were planted deeper than I would recommend these days, in my garden. There were some disease issues (at the end of the season, and in my seed-starting environment).
• Beefsteak (American Seed; small, perfectly round fruit; did not set any fruit in the heat; small plants)
• Beefsteak (Peaceful Valley; great taste; excellent taste-retention when cooked sliced on pizza; small, perfectly round fruit; did not set any fruit in the heat; had some of the largest plants before the transplant; large plant for the year; planted about five feet deep)
• Big Rainbow (no fruit; stunted; seeds from wintersown.org)
• Black Plum (heat-tolerant; early; decent taste; produced all season; not super prolific, but it was okay; seeds from rareseeds.com)
• Brandywine (I planted a beefsteak shaped type and a round type; may have been another variety; it was orangish red; did not set any fruit in the heat; decent production; mealy; from fruits given to me by a friend, which tasted great and had great texture; planted extremely deep)
• Caspian Pink (I may have loved this, but the plants got a late start, and we only got them at the end of the season, unripe; they ripened in storage and were okay; I did save seeds, though; seeds purchased somewhere)
• Cherokee Purple (didn't have good conditions; I only got an extremely late small fruit or two that I didn't taste for some unknown reason; seeds from wintersown.org)
• Delicious (some were not true to type; I planted at least one with PL foliage and at least one with RL foliage; large fruit; I believe these were dollar store seeds)
• Early Girl F2 (these were decent, considering; later than the F1 the year before; okay production, but good for the year; set fruit in the heat; a favorite for taste—not just for me, but for others, too; seeds saved from the previous year)
• Galapagos Island (Solanum cheesmanii; seeds from wintersown.org; very early; prolific; small plant; set fruit in the heat; handled all the conditions I planted it in well, and two of those were quite challenging)
• German Pink (late; big very pink fruit; decent production; unusually meaty; cutting a fruit seemed kind of like cutting a smooth ham; did not set any fruit in the heat; seeds from rareseeds.com)
• Golden King of Siberia (cool-looking, large fruits; spindly vining plant; did not set any fruit in the heat; great taste, and very meaty, but it wasn't the sort of tomato I'd want to eat a lot of fresh, by the way it felt in my body; seeds from rareseeds.com)
• Grape F? (currant-sized red, round fruit; I think I gave the plant to someone; it had been reseeding for several years, and I took a plant inside over the winter)
• Green Giant (big, tasty, extremely juicy fruits; did not set any fruit in the heat; a favorite for taste; seeds from rareseeds.com)
• Green Zebra (only a few fruit, and they were not anything like early; taste was good; seeds from a trade)
• Husky Cherry Red F2 (at least three kinds; extremely tasty and firm; two plants were early and another seemed so late that it never set fruit; one plant had sweet fruits and another didn't; a favorite for taste; the plants that set fruit had volunteered, while the other was from seeds saved from the previous year)
• Indigo Rose (crop failure; purchased somewhere)
• Kellogg's Beefsteak (that's what the packet really said; very tasty; small, orange fruit; I believe these were dollar store seeds)
• Lemon Boy F2 (the sourest tomato I've ever eaten; I think it could strip tooth enamel; from seeds saved the previous year)
• Market Wonder (great taste; at least one fruit set in the heat; vigorous foliage; firm smallish blocky fruits; had some of the largest plants before the transplant; seeds from wintersown.org)
• Martino's Roma (few and small fruit; seeds were a gift from a friend online)
• Paul Robeson (small pure brown fruit, but very tasty, and hardly any hang-time; did not set any fruit in the heat; seeds from wintersown.org)
• Pruden's Purple (large, dark pink fruit; one branch was variegated, and one fruit had a stripe that seemed to come from that variegation; the variegation did not seem to be genetic, as I grew out seeds from that fruit; I believe all fruits set fruit in the heat; I think I only got three fruits, but they were all big and extremely tasty; favorite for #hamburgers; seeds from rareseeds.com)
• Roma x Lemon Boy F2 F1 (I pulled it out due to disease concerns or some such and/or because the fruits were dropping early; seeds saved the previous year)
• San Marzano (late and not as prolific as Roma the previous year, but it was decent, and had long, firm, muscular-looking fruit; I believe these were from a dollar store seed packet)
• Sugar Lump (a few fruits were extremely tasty and sweet, like Sweet Tarts, but the others were normal; they didn't produce many fruit; one to a few fruits set in the heat; I believe these were from a dollar store seed packet)
• Texas Wild (got several cherry tomatoes on it, but it wasn't prolific, vigorous or early; it didn't set in the heat; I think it probably needed acclimatization through seed-saving to prosper in that ground; seeds from wintersown.org)
• Yellow Pear (crop failure; I believe these were from a dollar store seed packet)
• Potentially others

This does not include those I planted that did not sprout, or that did sprout and died (due to a freeze or other such). 49 kinds of tomatoes (unless you count each F2 as a different kind; then there are more); 87 plants. There may be a few others.
• Amana Orange (from 2016 seed; this might be a cross)
• Aunt Gertie's Gold
• Big Boy F1
• Black Beauty x 2 (from 2017 seed; I believe both of these were crosses, one with Sweetie, and the other uncertain, but it was brown)
• Black Dragon
• Black Vernissage
• Bloody Butcher
• Brandy Boy cross F2 x 8 (from 2018 seed; each of these Brandy Boy cross F2s is from a different fruit; the F1 was supposed to be Brandy Boy F12, but it turned out to be an accidental cross between john11840's stabilized Brandy Boy F11 and an unknown regular leaf variety; I really loved it, though)
• Brandy Boy F1
• Brandy Boy F10 (stabilized version from john11840 of Gardenweb)
• Buckbee's New 50-Day
• Chris Ukrainian
• Coyote x 2 (one plant is a cutting of the larger plant; I want to try to grow another generation from this, this year, after the fruit ripens)
• Early Girl F1 x 2 (one I grew from seed from an open packet I received in a trade, and the other we got as a plant from the store; the other tomatoes on this list were all from seed)
• Early Treat F1
• Fourth of July F1
• Frosty F. House x 2 (from 2018 seed)
• Galapagos Island (Solanum cheesmaniae; from 2015 seed)
• Gilbertie
• Gnocchia Di Limone
• Holyland
• Husky Red F1
• Jerusalem
• Marion
• Matina (this isn't from my saved seed)
• Matt's Wild Cherry
• Mexican Yellow cross F2 (from 2017 seed; the F1 was pink and didn't get a fair evaluation due to being in the shade of some currant bushes)
• Moravsky Div
• Mountain Princess x 8 (from 2018 seed; I meant to have loads of Frosty F. House and a few of these, but on a whim, I split up a container into loads of plants; I do really like Mountain Princess, though)
• Napoli
• Nodak Early x 2 (from 2018 seed)
• Noire De Crimee
• Palestinian
• PL volunteer (unless tomato seeds traveled a ways, it must be Husky Cherry Red F-something x a PL tomato F2+; last year it was a regular leaf red cherry the same size as Husky Cherry Red F1; if it were pure Husky Cherry Red, it would be F6)
• Polish Linguisa
• Porter (from 2016 seed; however it does this year, I plan to grow it again in 2020 for the sake of acclimatization; I grew the same seed source in 2017, which didn't yield remarkable results, but I didn't save seeds, and it volunteered in 2018, and I loved it then, although I didn't save seeds, again; so, yeah)
• Red Robin
• Rio Grande
• Ron's Carbon Copy cross F2+ (from 2017 seed; the previous generation had very pink fruit, was quite sweet, and had great flavor; it had larger fruit than Ron's Carbon Copy)
• Sausage x 17 (from 2018 seed; I really liked this one last year)
• Sheboygan
• Snow Fairy (from 2017 seed)
• Sweet Orange Cherry (from 2017 seed)
• Thessaloniki (This isn't from my saved seed.)
• Tidy Rose F1 x 2 (one is mulched with the strawberries and the other is in an area with black plastic like the rest of the tomatoes)
• Valley Girl F1
• Volunteer (maybe Husky Cherry Red F5 x Sweet Orange Cherry F2, but possibly other things; if it were pure Husky Cherry Red it would be F6)
• Volunteer (maybe Husky Cherry Red F5 x Sweet Orange Cherry F2, but possibly other things; if it were pure Husky Cherry Red it would be F6; this plant is growing much differently than the other)
• White Queen (from 2017 seed)

• Super Fantastic VFN F1 (sprouted by 5 April; gave to LA on 14 May)
• Sweet Orange Cherry (sprouted at some point; gave to LA on 14 May)
Notes:
• Unless otherwise noted, I planted my tomatoes on the evening of 10 March 2018.
• I plan to give away a few varieties.
• The year number only corresponds with the matriarchal line (the number of years that line has been grown in my garden from new saved seed each time).
• When I say such as ‘third tomato to sprout’, I mean it’s the third kind of tomato that has sprouted (with kinds being distinguished by bullets).
• Almost all of the tomato seedlings were frozen on 3 April 2018 (I believe because I didn’t close the vents in time on a night when it got to 26° F.—although I never had problems that bad on 27° F. nights, even when I didn’t close the vents). One to a few seedlings seemed to survive (most notably, a Green Tiger seedling, which had chartreuse cotyledons after the freeze; it didn’t have any true leaves; neither did any other tomatoes). I’ll put resprouted by the ones I know have resprouted. Most seem to have resprouted by 4 April 2018 (I overseeded; it’s miraculous that they’ve been resprouting so quickly, though).
• I thinned the tomato seedlings in the greenhouse on 8 May. It should be noted that at the time there were no frosts on the horizon, and there hadn’t been for a little while. However, I was not allowed to transplant them until at least the 16th (probably later). They were not really mature enough for me to want to transplant, yet, anyway, however (although I’d transplanted them like that before with reasonable results).
Observations:
• Most of the store-bought seeds, unlike in previous years, had been sprouting before most of the seeds I saved myself. Very interesting. I have no idea why (other than the fact that there are more of the store-bought seeds). I know I magnetized some seeds—I don’t recall which.
• Removing older leaves that show signs of damage, wear, or other issues seemed to be increasing the growth rate of the new growth of the tomato plants in the greenhouse.
• Some time in May, I gave the tomatoes in the greenhouse wood ash and monoammonium phosphate.
• Some of the tomato plants in the greenhouse (pre-transplant) looked a lot bigger and stronger than the others (e.g. Bush Early Girl II F1, Clementine F1).
• Many of the tomatoes were developing flowers, I noticed on 21 May (although a number had flowers developing on them well before that point).
