We just bought our house last fall and had 3 "volunteer" plants in (of all places) the fire pit! The best we can figure is the previous owners threw their plants from last year in there when they were moving. Turned out to be a fairly decent and prolific yellow, a cherry, and a nice beefsteak. It was in shade and took a long time to produce, but when it got started, it really went to town! I'm still canning piccalilli and going to try the green tomato relish. I've also been interested in the Amish paste, so I'm glad to hear what you have to say here. Looking forward to part 2!
