The Horizons Program in Russell, Iowa purchased and distributed tomato plants to the residents of the Russell Development Apartments back in June of this year. The residents watered and took care of their plants hoping they would produce tomatoes for them to enjoy all summer. Driving past the apartments you may have noticed how well they have done. Some of the plants are as tall as the patio roofs. Most of the plants produced quite a few tomatoes because the people took very good care of them. One lady said she got a dozen and a half tomatoes from her one plant. The wind toppled several of them over, but residents stood them back up and the plants survived and kept on producing tomatoes. Since everyone enjoyed watching them grow and loved tasting the final product, the Horizon Program will try again in 2012.
