A tomato plant in the second row of Pop's garden is now taller than Pop, according to a measurement Pop took himself on Sunday afternoon by standing next to it.

“It's a good inch over,” he said, and then stood a little straighter, and said, “Maybe half an inch.”

The plant, a variety Pop describes as “the big red ones,” was grown from seed on the kitchen windowsill in April. Pop credits “manure, mostly.”

Nan, reached for comment, said he has been taking the measurement every day this week.
