Well, when I was growing up, we would spend our summers in northern Westchester county and one year my mother planted a garden - or least attempted to. She planted tomatoes, corn,and I think zucchini. Well the corn didn't fly, but we were inundated with tomatoes and zucchini- couldn't get rid of the stuff as that the neighbors learned to avoid us when Mom sent me and my brother with bags full of the stuff. Did I say that she planted the garden right over the septic tank? Yup, that had a lot to do with the revenge of the zucchini and the tomatoes.
