I know because I grew some cherry tomatoes in my backyard in San Diego. I also had a garden with corn, cantaloupe, and kale. Everything thrived and then died, except the tomatoes. They kept coming back.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-27944665690235106772015-08-11T20:07:21.675-04:002015-08-11T20:07:21.675-04:00In our small town you have to keep your car doors ...In our small town you have to keep your car doors locked during the zucchini harvest.

Also, the cool house brings to mind my dairy farmer uncle who had a similar type building that was a milk house where he kept the milk he sold. <br /> <br />Your produce is tempting. I delight in the generosity of vegetable growing neighbors who share their crops. I haven't grown any veggies for a while, so was delighted to receive some you've pictured from my neighbor across-the-street who replaced the grass in a section of her front yard between her drive and her neighbor's yard with a small garden. <br /><br />I just noticed the name of your blog has changed since I was last here. You must have had a birthday -- belated happy! The water's fine in this decade -- really fine! Enjoy -- make the most of it. I'll change the name on my blogroll.<br />joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-81765117943396141832015-08-11T08:55:17.138-04:002015-08-11T08:55:17.138-04:00Yes, Dianne, south central Pa.

But, we did get them anyway! Three "volunteer" tomato plants have been supplying us for the last two months. Now I need to find a good recipe for making and freezing tomato sauce... there are too many (a good problem to have).<br /><br />Lovely pictures.Janishttp://retirementallychallenged.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-41783240550124457912015-08-10T17:38:48.078-04:002015-08-10T17:38:48.078-04:00There's something wonderfully cheery about sun...There's something wonderfully cheery about sunflowers.

I just put some green beans in the boiler to process, the first of a few batches to be sure. a year or two ago, there was such a bounty of cucumbers that people were leaving them in the lobby of the post office for people to help themselves to. They would all be gone at the end of the day and thank goodness the powers that be at the PO didn't stop the practice.
