Yeah, it's a hobby for me. I live in Portland Oregon and some years are more trying than others! I start mine from seed and wait patiently for the weather to warm up. I use a soaker hose system in my fenced garden area (we have tons of deer wandering through) and before I know it I'm pretty much swimming in tomatoes. And cucumbers. And squash.

Lettuce is my nemesis. Really, it's the slugs. But I can never grow it.
