We have tomatoes by the bushels. I try to grow as much as possible of what I eat here on the farm...I eat alot oof it raw right from the plant as I pick...fresh and organic is so important .It is alot of work/ fresh air and sunshine and I feel good! Sometimes exhausted...but good. Grampa said, hard work never killed anyone and if something makes your muscles achy and sore...get out there the next day and do it again. He grew a garden by hand to feed his large family in a body cast after being smashed in a mining tunnel colapse. I don't think I could work in a body cast in the heat....so nothing I face is too hard to do ...you just have to have motive and determination and go for it
