DescriptionTaken from Tempe Daily News - May 19, 1978:Frustrated Tempe gardeners who have tried to grow tomato plants from even nursery bought stock -- and couldn't -- may feel even worse when they know about that fruit-bearing tomato plant above, Like "Topsy" it just grew all on its own from a seed which had come from a fallen tomato last fall! Ruby Meyers, tended the plant in her year at 842 West Elna Rae above, counted 120 tomatoes on a single plant.
