Apparently, as I discovered some minutes ago, Reine Des Vallees alpine strawberries make great air freshener. I'm sure other breeds would, too. All I did was put a few fruits (many of them were already dry) in a bowl in a warm room for several hours.

This is one way they could have a long-lasting, very noticeable impact. A person could put the dry fruits as a spice in potpourri.

This is where I got my seeds for them: https://thestrawberrystore.com/store#!/Alpine-Strawberry-Reine-des-Vallees/p/48051257

I'm growing Red or Pink Oxheart tomato seeds, this year. I was told they were Pink Oxheart, initially, but the label said Red Oxheart, and the fruits were also red, I was told (we shall see). This variety came highly recommended by Mumsey of the Organic Gardening Community.

Here's my plant, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

My tomatoes this year with unique leaves appear to be these:

• Silvery Fir Tree: the foliage is feathery.
• Purple Calabash (the leaves are flatter and a little differently shaped than other regular leaf tomatoes). I wonder if it's from an interspecies hybrid.
• Taiga: It's a potato-leaf plant with leaves that are really floppy-looking. Maybe they're wispy, but I haven't seen a definitively wispy PL tomato plant to compare. At first I thought it was stressed, but it kept growing new leaves this way.

In past years, I noticed differences with Galapagos Island and Menehune, too.

I took these pictures today:

Here's a normal regular leaf tomato for comparison (it's Marion, from fruit #1):

Here's my wispiest regular leaf tomato, this year, for comparison (however, it's not as wispy as some other varieties that I've grown before); it's Sheboygan from an oxheart-shaped fruit:


Note that there are other possible leaf shapes, such as rugose an pompom.

According to the links above, talcum powder (which is in baby powder and a host of other products) can contain asbestos and can cause (or increase the risk of obtaining) ovarian cancer when used for feminine hygiene.

Do a web search for talcum powder (without mentioning anything like asbestos or cancer) and see the results!

The takeaway is, don't use products containing talcum powder for feminine hygiene, to prevent diaper rash on babies, etc. Use alternatives instead. In short, don't risk getting asbestos in your system.
