Uppity up tomatoes!

August 25, 2008 · 5 Comments

Within "The Land" pavilion which is part of the EPCOT theme park in the Walt Disney World Resort at Lake Buena Vista, Florida is this amazingly huge “Tomato-Tree”.
It was achieved by using the "vertical growing technique" in which by providing a matrix of structural supports for the entire
plant this enabled it to grow much bigger than it ever would under
ordinary circumstances where gravity would be weighing it down.

This “Tomato-Tree” produces over
32,000 tomatoes in a 16-month period. It was recognized by Guiness
World Records as both the largest and most productive tomato plant in
the world.

EPCOT stands for “Experimental
Prototype Community of Tomorrow” and was originally intended to be a
futuristic model community based on utopian modernist ideas of communal
living, no cars and no private ownership.

To us all!

Small flowers, cheerfully standing tall,
always smiling, to us all.

Soft petals, in the sun they shine,
waving to us all, in a friendly line.

Sweet flowers, dressed in vivid color galore,
beaming to us all,
for they will dance together once more.

“I get by with a little help from my friends.” John Lennon

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend,
but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success. Oscar Wilde
