I started growing cherry tomatoes again this year in another area of my yard. I had them growing in the center of the yard in previous years and every year they would re-seed themselves and come up with no effort on my part.

But then we had a family of mice move in and they started tunneling around and under the plants. The kids started turning their ankles in the holes when they were cutting the grass.

I had to fill the whole area in and nothing came up the next year. The seeds were covered by too much dirt.

I like food plants that grow like weeds though. Saves a lot of effort.

Me too. The grandkids and I just throw them next to the house on the southern side and voila fresh tomoatoes when we're done swimming.
