Hugh Griffiths bearing gift of prize winning "Hugh" tomato plant

As mentioned earlier in the Marbella Spectator, our neighbor Hugh Griffiths is a man of many talents. One is raising tomatoes. His specialty is appropriately named the "Hugh" tomato. It grows tall (5-6 feet), and produces very large, up to 2-1/2 lb., beefsteak tomatoes that are pale yellow with a touch of red on the blossom end. They are very meaty, thin-skinned and delicious, seemingly bursting with summer sweetness. A year or so ago, after learning that a contest was underway, and knowing that he had business that would take him near the contest headquarters, Hugh dropped off a sample of his "Hugh" tomato plants. His entry won the contest and a prize of $5,000! Hugh was written-up in the San Diego Union-Tribune and received television coverage. A few days after our recent neighborhood block party, Hugh's wife Jan called to see if Hugh could deliver something to our house. To our surprise, Hugh brought a "Hugh" tomato plant for Marilyn's garden. I took this photo. When this young plant starts producing 2-1/2 pound "Marilyn" tomatoes, I plan to sell them for top dollar at the Bernardo Winery's Farmers' Market and give Hugh a commission.
