I will suggest that to her. It's only a maybe 15x15 plot, enclosed by chain  
link, as I said, but it seems to be enough for her - her husband passed away 
a 
 couple of years ago, and her mother a month ago. It's in a good location  
sun-wise, and is sheltered from the west-prevailing winds by sheets of (?) 
some  
sort of fabric on one sde, and a stand of oleanders on the other side. Wind 
is a  major factor here, as well as uncontrolled development in the Victor 
Valley,  which has dropped our water table, and lots of folks have had to put 
in 
new  wells - a major expense.

Subject: Re: [Homestead] Plants are blooming

We've already picked  all the tomatoes we're going to have. The plants are  
drying out now,  and they're done. That's what makes me wonder about the 
zone. 
Neither one  of us does canning of any sort - she works and I don't know how
