Harold Bissell's Big Boy Tomato Plant, September 1969

Harold Bissell's Big Boy Tomato Plant, September 1969 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, September 18, 1969
Caption
It's called a Big Boy tomato plant and no one has questioned the title. Harold Bissell of 2644 Elmwood says his crop has numbered 66 so far. He set out the young plant by the trellis after the last frost--mid to late May--in soil which he had mixed with fertilizer ("the kind that smells like the dickens") himself. He and his wife returned from a trip in August to find the leaves all dried and curled, but a good watering revitalized it. Bissell says he chose this semi-beefsteak variety not for its volume of produce but because it was the least acid.

Benton Thomas, a second baseman for the Mitchell Roadrunners, is ready for any situation that might come up in the infield. In his crouched position, he can move either to his left or right with equal ease. His coach is pretty high on his future potential in baseball.

Planted from seed in June, it now extends over 20 feet with elephant-ear leaves that can nearly serve as beach umbrellas. One might expect giant vegetables; however, Skinner says the vine is able only to muster up squashes a few inches in diameter which quickly die. Baffled by what they brought about, the Skinners "just enjoy looking at it."
