Putting their gardens to bed or waking them up, depending on

Yesterday I picked a bunch (~2 dozen) of tomatoes from the
neighbor-shocking front-yard garden.

The neighbors across from me have a front yard veg garden. It looks
very nice and tidy. The green beans have made an interesting sculpture
that offers shade to their front room.

My backyard faces west, and it has two large maple trees, plus the
neighbors across the back fence have large trees. It's very shady in
the back, which is great for lounging on the deck, but not so much for
tomatoes.

The front yard has only a crabapple close to the house, and obviously
faces east. I dug up ivy that was growing along the driveway and put in
a few tomato and poblano plants where they get sun a very large part of
the day. The results have been pretty good, although it got a tad
crowded. Might expand next year.
