Sudoku Garden needs a seed to generate its puzzles, and this week the seed comes from Ventura Botanical Gardens, which is hosting Tomatomania. I was looking for a quote by Welsh author about American tomatoes, but I couldn’t pin it down. It’s probably for the best, as he wasn’t complimentary. Instead, I’ll offer this history of tomatoes in America by Craig Lehoullier which covers the story of tomato acceptance.
How to Play
Six plants fill each row
each column, each box of six
no bloom may repeat
Tap an empty cell
then choose your plant from below
watch the garden grow
Or pick a plant first
then tap the cells where it goes
faster hands plant more
Red borders will warn
when two alike share a line
rethink and replant
Ticked plants rest complete
all six placed in rightful soil
fewer choices left
The clock starts to run
the moment your first plant falls
how swift is your hand?
Select a plant, then tap cells
Two ways to play: Tap an empty cell then pick a plant, or select a plant below then tap cells to place it.
