GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Lloyd Vollmer is a nearly 90-year-old Marine veteran who sent me his book on "How to Grow Tomatoes."
I thought it was so well done, filled with great ideas that I had not heard of.
Lloyd and his late wife raised 11 children and always had a large garden. One of his favorite crops was tomatoes. He recently passed those tips on in a short but concise book filled with tomato wisdom. From buying the right plants to planting, feeding, caring for, watering and even picking them from the vine, Lloyd generously shares his time-tested advice.
If you want to get his book you can send him $5, to the Veteran's Home in Hastings and he will send it to you!
