Last year I don't know how many pounds of tomatoes my friend Martha gave away.
This year we will put up two stands and see if that does OK.

I'm afraid that where my friend lives there are just enough low rent customers that at least one of them that drives by will steal the money and leave the tomatoes.

I did have a conversation with my friend the other day and told her I was going to cut back on the amount I grew.
The reason being is I don't mind giving away tomatoes but I'm not going to work my tail off just so the lazy neighbors can have free food.
Last year they all watched me work my fingers to a nub and never offered any help but there they were for the free hand out.
They never offered any money or anything.

This year any overflow will be sold or it will go to a rest home or poor house not to a rich neighbor with a 250 K house and a 50 K SUV.

Sorry for the rant but enough is enough.
