The squirrels have discovered the cherry tomatoes, I'm so bummed I just love cooking with them and now all I get is a small bowlful a week.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-53523739464951245132016-08-04T14:35:10.353-07:002016-08-04T14:35:10.353-07:00Hi K,

I've been saving them so we could try a large batch of them. It's actually the first time we've ever grown it, but it seems just as productive as the other varieties.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-89726490548908955962016-08-04T14:09:11.022-07:002016-08-04T14:09:11.022-07:00Hi Dave,

I used to plant them in groups or hills, but it doesn't seem to work out as well.<br /><br />A friend was showing me her watermelon she picked this weekend, 25 pounds and she's got lots of other ones ripening. I told her needed to start making watermelon wine.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-91643527411767020262016-08-04T14:07:04.172-07:002016-08-04T14:07:04.172-07:00Hi Sue,
