Just call me the tomato hoarder.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. Some years ago, as in about 30 years ago,

my sister told me about a neighbor of hers who decided to plant tomatoes, and proudly planted 30. She gasped, and told him gently that he'd planted far more than he needed for personal use. When the plants started producing tomatoes, he understood, and made an agreement with a local fast food place to give them his excess tomatoes.

I keep on wanting to grow tomatoes, because a ripened tomato is one of God's perfect foods (and I'm an atheist) that I want. I tried a couple of years ago and the tomato plants promptly died. Sigh.
