I have failed to plant tomatoes in the corner this year, so it is a little barren. There are handy fences to tie plants up and everything. Even with expensive soil from Home Dee-pot, the tomatoes required more care than necessary: water, fertilize, water, fertilize. If I were a shrunken person, this part of the yard would be easy to get through.
The strawberries Roommate planted last summer came back up! Chances are, the same furry animal (the darn squirrel again or the area skunks??) that ate them last summer will do so again before we get any berries...Or maybe the landlord will mow, who knows?

I guess that explains why organic strawberries are so freakin' expensive. :-)
I think we should genetically engineer some strawberry plants that are cabable of defending their berries from squirrels and other creatures. The real trick is to make them strong enough to fight off other creatures, but not strong enough to attack us and knock us from the top of the food chain.
ron's suggestion reminds me of Little Shop of Horrors, which I just (randomly) rented on netflix.
