Grow Tomatoes For a Good Cause

           

            Here's an unusual and inspiring response by a father to the diagnosis of a serious neurological disease in his child, autism. This dad has developed his own special kinds of tomatoes, and you can order one or more plants through the mail to grow in your own garden, and help raise money to fight autism and help nice people like him.

 

            Read all about it on:

            If you've never grown tomatoes before, now's a great time to start. It's cheap, and doesn't take that much space or that much time. Plus, it's tons of fun.

 

            You can tend them through the summer, and share them with neighbors, friends and especially pantries and shelters for the homeless, where fresh fruits and vegetables are always welcome.

 

            Here's a good source to tell you everything you need to know to plant and care for tomato plants. Yummmm - can't you just taste that first BLT? Have fun!
