Grandiose Gardening

FRONT-tomato

A super steak tomato sits on my desk this morning.

Moundridge’s Erma Goering grew the tomato.

Goering’s husband, Wilbert “Toby” Goering, said the red fruit checked in at almost 2 pounds.

It was picked Wednesday at the couple’s home at 109 Maple Street.

Wilbert Goering was pretty proud of it. He was showing everyone he met on the street, and he should because that is pretty cool.

I’m happy for the couple.

Think of how many BLTs they are going to be able to make.

Just the thought makes me hungry.
