Thanks for sharing. If anyone drops by Texas near Austin one of the county seats celebrates Tomatoes. It seems one of the local youngsters doing her part started tomato clubs to grow tomatoes. Like the chickens in Jim's photograph the idea was that they were easy to raise and good for the effort. This young lady started with an acre of tomatoes; only in Texas.
