A heck of a lot of tomato plants...

Paul's father's grandfather was quite an industrious fellow. He came to America just with the change in his pocket. He worked on the Pennsylvania Railroad for 12.5 cents per hour on a twelve hour work day. He eventually started several businesses, some of which exist to this day. He also had a tendency to plant a lot of tomato plants in the back yard. That is a bit of an understatement.

Care to offer a guess on how many tomato plants he wedged in his back yard?
