but we really would love to grow great tomatoes! I am just now collecting a few and they are much nicer than store ones (which I do not trash). Our nights are just too cold for great tomatoes, the growing season is short, and we don't get a whole lot of heat units. But we all are avid about trying. Peaches and apricots are another we do not have enough heat for. But plums and blueberries do great.

When I lived in Long Beach CA I was out to sea too much to be a gardener, but would have loved to learn to garden in a different climate.

I'm with you on "I want to grow stuff that I don't have to spray and tend to constantly."
