Why my neighbours make me green with envy

As I walk around my neighbourhood every morning, taking my dog ona 45-minute stroll, I realise how easy it is to become envious of your neighbours, Some of them have bigger houses.

Some of them have fancier cars. Some of them have wider yards.

But the neighbours who truly make me feel envious are the ones who have taller tomato plants. Not just taller, but bushier, with more tomatoes hanging from them than I could steal in a single night.

I've grown tomatoes for a number of years, but my plants have never been more than five feet tall. One of my neighbours, on the other hand, has plants that could dunk on LeBron James.

This year, my plants are growing very slowly, and the few tomatoes on them are quite small. Even my wife has noticed. This worries me. I don’t want to be the first man whose wife left him over the size of his tomatoes.
