We have a very small garden tract... 2 sections, each about 18 inches 
by 20 feet.  Half of one strip holds 4 tomato plants, and the other 
half holds 12 pepper plants.  I have still one large freezer bag of 
tomatoes that have not been boiled down for sauce...this is what 
happens to all the tomatoes that we cannot eat (only 2 of us).  We are 
still eating sweet red peppers...I can get a whole winter out of what 
we produce.  The green beans are planted in the other strip of garden, 
about 25 plants.  All are planted at once and I freeze all that I can.  
I'd like to have more, but there is always the market in the summer.

I have always envied people with a good growth of grape vines.  Are 
these eating grapes or wine making grapes?
TA>Where do you live north of the 40th ?
I live in Toronto, Ontario...about 10 minutes north of Lake Ontario.
