Here is the sentence:
One spring Joe __________ tomatoes in the backyard; pollution, insects,
and weekend badminton matches did so much damage to the poor plants that
Joe went back to buying canned tomatoes at the grocery store.
The blank requires the past tense of grow, an irregular verb. You chose grew, the correct form. Nice work!
