Toxic (Sticker) Shock

Shock(ed about NY):

1. $8 heirloom tomatoes
2. Where are the good peaches hiding?
3. Food does cost a lot more here (granted, I moved right when food and gas prices have gone soaring)
4. Farmer's markets: disappointing so far (been to 3).
5. Bejeezus, it is hot out here.
6. Private terrace

Mix it all up and the obvious conclusion is grow some of your own freaking tomatoes!

Toxic:

1. Greenpoint Oil Spill - "up to 3 times larger than the Exxon Valdez spill". An estimated 17 million gallons of oil at an ExxonMobil facility was leaked into the ground in 1950. Cleanup continues to this day with 9 million gallons reclaimed.
   
2. Toxic Brooklyn - Boomtown Williamsburg ... my new neighborhood is toxic! VBS.TV series.
   

Maybe the higher levels of radioactivity will result in a crop of huge, godzilla-sized tomatoes? Sounds like a money saving proposition!

If anyone knows where I can get great peaches in Williamsburg, please let me know.
