There Are Russians Blushin' In My Garden

No need for alarm people. Russian Persimmon tomatoes pose no threat to national security. However, your waistline may be in trouble should you ever sample the delicious preserves that can be made from them. By the way, in the interest of full disclosure, please be aware that no collusion was required to grow these tomatoes, just a modest sized container.
