Two year old Jackson Samuel Tawney stopped by The Pocahontas Times office with his grandparents, Pete and Fran Tawney, of Buckeye. He brought in the first unusual vegetable of the year – a two pound 10.6 ounce “Holy Land” tomato. They actually brought in two large tomatoes, but Jackson could only hold one at a time.

The Tawneys put out 52 tomato plants this year, 24 of them being “Holy Land” tomatoes. Wilburn Walton, of Droop, gave them the seeds. Walton said he has given seeds to people all around the county, to get them started, because the meaty tomatoes are the best he’s ever eaten.

Jackson is the son of Freddie and Stacy Tawney, of Marlinton. His maternal grandparents are Sam and Fran McPaters, of Marlinton. L.D. Bennett photo
