Record First Tomato!

"From small things, mama,
Big things one day come."

Look to your left and see what will surely be the first ripe Chicago backyard tomato. This shot was taken the last week of May, a record first tomato for the Neenah Street Tomato Growers Association, and, we are sure, a record for the whole of Chicago. This, of course excludes hothouse cheaters and those unscrupulous louts who buy from nurseries those two-foot tall potted tomato plants already bearing fruit. They'll get their just rewards when they have to eat those tasteless foul fruits.

You will also notice the latest in organic pest control. Gone are the messy leg traps. No more covered pits that just seemed to attract neighborhood children. Here at last is an answer for those meddling old ladies so enamored of their "darling little bunnies." Have you ever seen what those little darlings can do to a garden? Well, you should see what the orca terra can do to a little bunny!
