Tomatoes

We shall see what we shall see. We bought some tomato plants, and if everything goes right, we should be supplying us and our neighbors with tomatoes by sometime in June.  

In the first picture is one of those upside down tomato planters. It was only $1.50 at Big Lots. It had everything except the dirt and the tomato plant. I had a four foot treated 2x4 that I split and made the support. I put two plants in this planter.

These two plants are the same variety as those in the upside down planter. As they grow, I am going I will pinch off the lower branches and fill the pot with more soil. The newly buried stem will produce more roots.


One of the plants below (right) is a yellow tomato. I think the other is a cherry tomato. I really can't remember. We shall see.
