Garland Bullivant 86 year old Champlin's Tomato Guy!

I live on a Cul de sac in Champlin, MN.  Off the Cul de sac and about a half block away from me is a Champlin staple.  A picnic table cover by a cheap blue tarp with Tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, beets, Gladiolus and a cash box.  Garland Bullivant is 86 years old and owns a 100X400 foot lot.  He plants over 400 tomato plants to sell in his front yard every year.  He uses a Florida Weave method of trellising the plants which grow to over 10 ft tall.  Later in the season, I will go back take more pictures and post a in depth story about Garland Garden.
