and he always has more than he can use so he give them away. Also, San Diego County has close to 5,000 small farms, the most small farms in the country, so I can buy them at farmers' markets.

I grew some tomatoes a couple of years ago on my townhouse patios and although not a bumper crop there were enough for my needs. I'll probably do that again next year not just because of the scarcity or price but for the fun of it.
