Dick.....I have a very large yard, and I grow a few color plants in it each year. The space is there, and I never expect 'em to be used for competition anyway..just good porch sitters.

IF YOU CAN GROW SOMETHING THAT BIG ON GRASS YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF ( AND THE REST OF YOUR PORCH FRIENDS ) TO GIVE IT A REAL SHOT
WHO KNOWS YOU MAY HAVE A WORLD RECORD FRUIT SITTING THERE SAYING " WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE ? "
GOOD LUCK
