I started growing cherry tomatoes on my small balcony just for fun. Now my neighbors ask for them, and we end up chatting about gardening every time. It's turned into a nice little community thing without me even trying.

How many neighbors actually swing by for tomatoes now?

Read about a similar thing in a neighborhood blog last week. They said the tomato plant became a total social spot. People would stop by just to chat and grab a few. It actually helped folks get to know each other better. Kinda cool how food plants can bring people together like that.

Those cherry tomatoes are basically running a free community snack bar now. Idk, maybe it's just me but I hope they don't start charging rent.
