I always grow two, but one would keep one-inch, juicy tomatoes on my table in numbers larger than I can reasonably consume, or at least at the peak of their season. Two at the start of the season, however, barely seems like enough. Picking them on my way to the mailbox as soon as they first ripen, the inventory is depleted on a daily basis. But come September (barring a hard rain), I will be in tomatoes up to my eyes. For a gardener who has consistently failed to bring zucchini to fruit, a Sweet Million is better than a gold mine.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Make A Sweet Million
