“The Tomatoes or me;” a bear report
As told to me by Don S. of Hubbard Pines: “A big black bear aproached my garden…” (note that it contains over 500 eight foot tall tomato plants of the variety Pear, Marzano, and Brandywine, each bearing fruit). “It was the tomatoes or me, so I threw a stone at the bear, and hit it at 20 yards.” I asked Don, “Are you crazy, what happened?” He said ” Nothing happened, so I threw another stone, and hit it again — it was the tomatoes or me!” Totally dazzled at the prospect, I said, “then what happened?” The reply, “The bear walked away.” This time it was neither the tomatoes nor Don. And they are all specimen quality.
