100 TOMATO PLANTS FOR 100 PEOPLE
What’s it all about?
One hundred tomato plants have been given to one hundred people. Each person who received a tomato plant has been invited to become a contributor to the One Hundred Positives Tomato Community Blog. This blog will serve as documentation of the shared experiences of caring for tomato plants over the course of the summer of 2008. Contributors are free to write as much or as little of whatever they want to write as long as the writing is centered around tomatoes and tomato plants. Sharing of information and tips about growing tomato plants is encouraged, as are questions. Stories of success and failure are as welcome as growth information, yield and favorite recipes featuring tomatoes. And post photos — we all love photos!
It is my hope that a harvest celebration can be planned for the end of the summer, where members of the One Hundred Positives Tomato Community Blog gather together with the fruits of their labor at a picnic party in the spirit of community sharing and tomato love. (I can see it now — tomato sandwiches, red sauces for pasta and ketchup, lots of ketchup — tomato games and bloody mary’s...)

How did this plant get there?
attack of the killer tomatoes...they're growing everywhere!
Maybe Kristen planted it? She's sneaky like that ... Or is it a seed from a bird dropping? Maybe someone dropped their lunch while withdrawing money? Did the wind pick it up and leave it there? Maybe it was stuck in a gardener's shoe and fell out? What gives?
Yeah, it sounds like something Kristen would do!
I don’t know about the bird dropping theory — I’ve never seen a bird eating a tomato... (has anyone?)
I like the gardener’s shoe theory. I don’t think I would have ever thought of that.
Now the dropping of one’s lunch while using the ATM may just be the answer. A Subway sandwich shop is next to the ATM.
My theory — A multi-tasking maniac thought he/she could eat lunch and operate an ATM at the same time and just didn’t consider the slippery-ness of sliced tomatoes.
Or maybe a Subway employee had stepped on a tomato just before running outside to use the ATM...
I don't know if I should be insulted or flattered. Either way, if I were to spread seeds around, they certainly wouldn't be tomato seeds!
I'll buy your Subway tomato escapee theory, Rose.
Perhaps it’s not a tomato plant, but a cleverly disguised surveillance camera...
Rose, is the plant still there?
I love finding stuff like this, plants where they don't belong, like a tree growing from a crevice of an abandoned building's roof. This weekend I worked at the Regatta and had to cross the Sixth Street/Roberto Clemente bridge a few times. In transit I discovered small landscapes growing (and dead pigeons decomposing) in the interiors of the towers. I wish I had one of your plants to deposit. Maybe I will swing by some night and drop off an addition to the growth.
Jeff, the plant is still there, but someone removed all the branches except the bottom one.(????)
I like seeing plants growing in strange places too. I think I feel a connection with these plants because I often feel like I was planted in the wrong place and time.
I like the idea of planting tomato plants in odd places... hmmm... a project for next year?...
