Actually no. I did in the past but I have been planting the Choppee variety lately. It was introduced by a family in Georgetown and was used by the Choppee Indian tribe.

I did not know there was such a thing as too much tomato but I know what you mean. Loaf of bread, Dukes or Hellman's mayo, thick slices of tomato, salt and peppa. Can't think of but one thing better than that !!

We have a blueberry cluster in the middle of the front yard landscape, back-stopped by a huge and very loaded fig tree. The peach tree in front of the dining room window is loaded. Our neighbors plant mondo grass and spread Ortho/Bayer insect products. We pick and eat, sipping wine/bourbon/scotch and enjoy the bounty!

I only have 3 mater plants in and 1 pack of cuke seeds. Last year I had to give maters away with only 3 plants. I can't imagine having 40 mater plants unless I ran a veggie stand.

Pink Brandy Wine Tomatoes, Anaheim Chilli Peppers, Pablano Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Yellow Sweet Bell Peppers, Clemson Okra, Purple Hull Peas and my girlfriend has Sun Flowers.
I would do melons, corn (Silk), and cucumbers but live in an apartment and have limited space.
We also have a huge natural muscadine vine in most of the surrounding trees in our property. Made some wine last year but didn't like it very much. The Scuppernong that I made from bought grapes turned out much better.

tomatoes, peppers and cukes, etc. After having an accident in the early spring, I am just now able to do anything. Usually, by this time, i would have corn, potatoes etc.. up and going but I am not physically able to do so. I will utilize about 10 to 15% of my garden space. Best of
luck with your gardens this year.
