plant to fill in at the city park.
Water from the swimming pool at
the park is used to water the
trees near where the dirt was
hauled, and it was discovered that
hundreds of tomato plant, s had
come up from seed there, Each
time the trees have been watered
the tomatoes have received plenty
of moisture, with the result that
the vines flourished. Almost every
variety of tomato can be found in
the patch. There are large ones
and small ones, round ones and
flat ones, red tomatoes and yellow
tomatoes, Many bushels of them
have been picked at the patch.
