Monday, my day off... I borrowd a tiller and worked my garden area up. I planted two kinds of peas, spinach, mesclun, and variety lettuce. I have such little space left, I'm trying to decide what to limit myself to! I have a lot of tomatoes to find a home for! Would it matter if I planted some along my rock walkway? Do rabbits eat tomatoes??  |

Songbird,
the leaves on a tomato are poisonous. Animals will not bother them. But they may eat a few tomatoes themselves.
definitely would not put the greens next to the walk. You would just be providing a rabbit buffet for them. As long as the tomatoes get about 6 hours a day sunlight they should do fine.
give them a heavy mulching with leaves or hay or straw and good amount of composted manure and they will reward you with lots and lots of maters.

I've planted all sorts of veggies including tomatoes in my flower beds when I didn't have anywhere else for them to go. Some kinda add interest to the beds. Trudy

At a way Trudy..... Try sticking peppers in the flower beds.. they add texture, color, and you still get to reap the rewards..

The other day, I didn't have anything thawed, so we ran to Wally World and found three thin rib eyes that weren't too expensive, and decided to throw them on the grill.
Hubby treated them with some garlic pwder, seasoned salt, and fresh cracked pepper...
They were done in a couple of minutes on each side!
I have to say it was the best steak I've had in awhile!!
I made brown rice pilif and roasted zucchini w/parmesan and seasoningsto go with... MMMM!
