Interesting tomato facts, etc.?

Douglas14 · September 20, 2011

Hi,
I'm going to be giving a gardening presentation, for the residents, at the nursing home I work at, this coming Wednesday. A large part of the presentation will be on heirloom tomatoes. I plan on bringing samples of several varieties of tomatoes I grew this season, to show some of the diversity in fruit characteristics. I also plan on bringing Carolyn's book and a SSE Yearbook, and talk some about them. I'll talk a little about how I grow my tomatoes
Any other suggestions would be welcome. I'm interested in any interesting tomato facts you can give me that I could use. Is there an estimate of how many heirloom tomato varieties there are available in the world? Thanks in advance!

Doug
