While working Downtown for many years, my office was on the 28th floor and had huge windows, I actually grew a 10 foot tomato plant.  That is how this story came to life.  Each of the charachters in The Downtown Tomato Plant is a real person, though their personalities and names may have changed a bit for the story, the comments they make in the story came from what they really said regarding my tomato plant. 

The Downtown Tomato Plant is the first Children's Book I wrote and I hope it will be published soon.
