Very sweet of You, and who knows... I may come visiting. But I have plans coming up. So I'll take a raincheck for now. (Now where did I put that tissue. I'm drooling!)
Now I know I need some sleep, I thought you just posted planting those plants last week! How time flys.
If it was me they would all be dead after a few days. You guys with greem thumbs feed the world.
I am going home and eating a tomato. Maybe 2
I miss having a yard. It is hard to plant tomatoes in concrete.
Deuem
That reminded me of my grandfather.
We had a small (20 x 18 metres) garden, and when my grandfather was alive (he died in 1977) he kept all the plants alive and giving fruit. Sometimes he planted tomatoes, once he planted one of those small varieties, and we (me, my sisters and my brother) played with them, eating them in the end.
My grandfather was one of those persons that can do anything with plants, he once mixed a cabbage (a tall variety, not one of those that are always close to the ground) with a carnation, resulting in a cabbage with a carnation flower. :)
