Volunteer Tomato plant overtaking Bomar Heights home 2011-08-04 - 205 Bomar Heights, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Hershel David Harmon and his wife Yvonne Harmon have a volunteer cherry tomato plant which has grown, unsupported, taller than Mrs. Harmon is, standing up. They are letting the plant have its way and have abandoned the use of the back door, in its favor. On Tuesday, August 2, 2011, they harvested the first ripe tomatoes from the vine. Hershel Harmon, the well-known Poet of the People, says it's a Lord's Will plant. It's growing by the Grace of God, and he's letting it have its way. It would be interesting for a cherry tomato expert to estimate the winter tomato equivalency value ($2.99/tiny carton, brought on in January) of the harvest of this one plant.
