Hothouse Tomatoes

Hothouse Tomatoes Every year at Christmas, people buy gifts for friends and relatives. Most people buy gifts from stores. But Mr. Wang is different. He sends people gifts from his farm. He sends them hothouse tomatoes.

Tomatoes normally grow in the summer. But hothouse tomatoes grow in the cooler months too. A hothouse is a heated building made of glass. It's used to grow plants in colder temperatures than usual. Mr. Wang's daughter did not think tomatoes made good gifts. “ They are too simple, " she said. " Nothing fancy at all. ” But Mr. Wang did not agree. He said, " You will see if people like these tomatoes. ” At his insistence, his daughter packed and sent boxes of fresh tomatoes to friends and relatives. Soon, Mr. Wang began to receive phone calls about the tomatoes. People were actually very pleased with the gifts. They enjoyed eating the delicious tomatoes out of season.
