Dakota Newman, 7, and Lana Hawthorn, 6, look over tomatoes grown in a hoop house at Dickey Farms. They compared the height of tomatoes grown outside to the height of tomatoes grown inside, using their bodies as a measuring stick. A hoop house is like an unheated green house that extends the growing season.
