A local black woman told me that people often had volunteer cherry tomatoes
that would come up all around the outside of the chicken pen. She said that
they were the best tomatoes she'd ever eaten, which I can well imagine. By
being outside the pen, they avoid being scratched up, but as they spread out
the fruit will be accessible to chickens on one side, and to humans on the
other side. No need to plant again after the first year, they will
volunteer in quantity. Donna
