Why does Trisha Elric have tomatoes?


In many episodes where Trisha (the boys’ mother) is seen, she is carrying,
tending to, or harvesting tomatoes.

Why does she have these tomatoes? Does she home-grow all of their food, or is
this just a hobby of hers?




The Village of Resembool is a sheep-farming town in Amestris and is well known
because of this

If you have watched the anime when Ed and Al go back home there are a lot of
farms

So my guess is that she harvested her own vegetables for their food and maybe
for trading.
