My neighbor has a tomato plant that just appeared, a volunteer. It makes lots and lots of tomatoes. I don’t know how much money I’ve spent on pots and dirt and amendments, seeds seedlings but I think all told they are 30$ tomatoes 😂

Ps Yes, I’m from Hawai’i 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I see what folks grow on the main land and it astonishes me. Beautiful gardens!

True. This article was very narrow in its focus, mostly on how there's little varieties of crops. Jetheels Apr 2022 #5
