Tomatoes cost over $1.00 per pound at the store! Imagine growing hundreds of
luscious, grapefruit sized tomatoes, up to 3 pounds each, from a single
plant! Grow bell peppers up to 10" long, foot long chili peppers, ears of
milky white sweet corn, over two feet long, from stalks of up to 16' tall,
sweet, juicy blueberries that cover a quarter, and strawberries as big as
peaches! These and much, much more can be yours by going to this site:

This year you can finally have the garden you've always dreamed of!

A Quarter is a US coin worth about $0.25 cents (a quarter of a dollar).
It's only about 1" (25mm) in diameter.
The word 'quarter' should have been capitalized since it is a proper noun.
I suppose that is the size of one of their blueberries.

Hey, I'm an American - what country is Lira the capitol of?

ObGarden: after missing tomatoes last year, we've got a good set going.
The asparagus seems to have liked the dry spell, too - it's all coming
back this year.

I am too...sorry, just making an off-hand remark on the devaluation of the
US Dollar lately. Lira used to be Italy's currency and it was joked about a
lot because it took hundreds or thousands of Lira to amount to anything. As
a traveler there years ago I was amused that if you bought something and
had less than a 100 or so Lira coming back as change, they just gave you
some matchbooks or a few pieces of candy.

I just heard yesterday, though, that the US Dollar is now being referred to
in Europe as the "American Peso". I guess our economy is not as strong as
some would suggest...
