Five-year-old Emma Pnini of Roslyn planted heirloom and cherry tomato seeds in egg cartons with her grandma Sandy and grandpa Bert a few months ago. “She nurtured them every day, and they now stand proud at 3 feet tall on our deck,” her mom, Alison, writes. We hope to see them both at this year’s Great Long Island Tomato Challenge.

Good work, Emma!
