2012 in Review: "Yummy tomato... crummy weed"

From the series ‘2012 in Review’:

In small-town Ontario, 16 miles south of Woodstock and the 401 highway and 40 miles north of Long Point and Lake Erie, jobs grew on trees - or tomato vines - as far as I was concerned as a ten-year old. I had my pick of part-time jobs helping local growers bring in their harvest of tomatoes, asparagus, apples, strawberries, green and yellow beans, bales of hay and a variety of other crops.

At such jobs I not only earned decent pocket-money but learned valuable life lessons as well.
