I only clean the mirrors once a year and allow a bit of dust to accumulate, they still reflect the garden but I think it helps the birds see the difference.<br /><br />The tomatoes have not been producing very heavily yet so we've had no problem consuming them although there are a couple of bags of them in the freezer as well. I'm hoping to freeze a lot for use in soups and sauces in the winter and perhaps have some fresh ones to share. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-74356920047980408362015-08-14T16:28:49.755-07:002015-08-14T16:28:49.755-07:00Thanks, Grace, there are never too many mirrors, a...Thanks, Grace, there are never too many mirrors, are there?
