Sometime after sunrise tomorrow morning, renowned naked gardener and part-time Arkansas Times Publisher Alan Leveritt will drop off 200 pounds of heirloom tomatoes from his India Blue Farm in North Pulaski County for city folks to enjoy.
The Leveritt annual tomato drop has become a Fourth of July weekend tradition. And naked gardening has been a tradition for Leveritt for decades. “It keeps the stink bugs away,” he explained.
Leveritt’s all-American crop will go up for sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Edward’s in Tanglewood Shopping Center, 7507 Cantrell Road. Varieties include Goldies, a stable mutation of a 19th century Abraham Lincoln, Cherokee Purple and Carbon.
While 200 pounds sounds like a lot, they won’t last long.
