Even if we only get a few, Craig doesn't even like fresh tomatoes so they are all mine!MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018963981535476477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657912610170806601.post-85949152278786243842010-04-11T04:07:30.894-05:002010-04-11T04:07:30.894-05:00it's so funny now that you are in a different ...it's so funny now that you are in a different town... when I first read your post I was thinking, "just starting tomatoes!?! We've had ours in for a month now..." Then I remembered the whole snow/freeze/you actually have seasons now.<br /><br />Lettuce/Spinach/Herbs (minus Basil) can do really well in small containers... you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Make sure you get the BIGGEST pot you can find for your tomatoes... I was just reading about how potted tomatoes are really hard because there isn't much soil. So, don't get discouraged if your tomatoes flop this year! Even if you get 1-2 tomatoes you will "break even" (they are super expensive right now) and they will have a TON more vitamins in them because you let them ripen on the vine!<br /><br />I'm really excited to read about your gardening adventures... I've been lazy about posting about our garden.Swindellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557487350111267097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657912610170806601.post-46878402323167190842010-04-10T13:20:02.508-05:002010-04-10T13:20:02.508-05:00First of all, your B-Money story made me laugh, re...First of all, your B-Money story made me laugh, really hard. Second of all, I <i>hear you</i> on the whole non-green thumb thing. As I've been telling people at work, I am Bad at Plants. This has come up because I bought an azalea at the grocery store the other day and I've been asking for advice. After three days in my care, it hasn't started to die yet, so I'm pretty excited!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062671427548399205noreply@blogger.com
