Re: zone 7 -- nonproductive veggie plants :

Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Judy,
    Just a suggestion - can you move at least some of the tomato plants to
containers? Then you could move them to the sunniest spots. OTOH, I live in
So. Cal., zone 9-10, my tomato is against a white wall, about 6 hours direct
sun per day and I have only 2 tomaotes and a few blossoms. I think it is
because we haven't had any heat yet hear on the Ventura coast. the plant
itself is looking healthier and growing well, so maybe in August??
    PS : Will the neighbor cut the tree?
