Today I was gratified to receive in the email a generous incitement from ‘Martha’ to SUPERSIZE my TOMATOES!! In order to persuade me that this was a great idea, Martha was offering me ‘3 GIANT Tomato Trees’ for ONLY $10.00! And, if I ORDERED TODAY, Martha was also willing to send me ‘3 big early hybrid tomatoes as our gift!’

Yes, I was a bit confused too – am I paying for three tomato trees, or getting 3 tomato trees as a gift? Or am I paying for tomato plants and getting 3 tomatoes as the gift? Who ships tomatoes? What is a giant tomato tree anyway? Is it like a giant beanstalk? Do tomatoes grow on trees? All these things were swirling around in my head as I gazed at the big picture of…

Wha?

Wheat? And is that…?

Opium poppies! Yes! Opium poppies! See for yourself:

Am I right, or am I right?! Opium poppies and wheat! Or perhaps it’s rye, wildly incubating ergot fungus? Hang on, where are these people anyway? I’m going to write to them…

Datura street? Datura street? C’mon! That’s made up…

Nope. There it is. In Florida (thank you, Oh Wondrous Google Street View!)

So. People selling ‘giant tomato plants’ and opium poppies with LSD, from Datura St, in Florida. I’m almost inclined to send off the $10 to see what I get back…
