Heirloom tomatoes

Her prize plants are a pair of lemon trees (figure I) and an avocado tree (figure J) that took almost five years to produce a single avocado!
Pests are kept under control in two ways:- Interplanting (figure K), or scattering and mixing plants rather than grouping crops together in rows. This seems to confuse bugs by keeping the scents diluted.
- A "bird patrol," or birdhouses placed all around the yard invite birds, which feed on the bugs.
