Dale Vick tends to his tomatoes in his Burien garden.
We were passing the Vintage Apartments in Burien when we spotted Dale Vick harvesting in his garden, most of which was hanging upside down.
That is a popular twist for people with limited ground space.
He was picking some tomatoes from his several upside-down plants and has a bumper crop. I asked if you had an urge to stand on your head after eating the stuff.
He muttered something that sounded like "smart alec."
Vick and his wife, Patricia have had great success with strawberries, beets, lettuce, cukes and squash.
Dale is retired after 25 years as a quality inspector at Boeing.
They have four children and five grandchildren and they all gladly share the crop.
