Haha. My bedroom window leaves to my roof where I can easily climb out and have about 10x10 space to do whatever. So, I decided to try to grow some stuff up there. I brought three Tomato plants who are doing amazing, a lemon tree, and convolvulus seeds.
These are the tomatoes -

This is a little better picture of the garden I built -

Hey wow nice garden!
Love the rooftop tomatoes. Wish I had a roof like that. Plants look good and healthy.
If I had done something like that as a kid, my mother would be freaking out that I might fall off!
Just one tiny word of caution - you may want to move the pots on the roof around from time to time as the area under the pot may never be dry & can cause the shingles to go bad sooner than they should.

Thanks guys, and I'll take a picture of my lemon as soon as I get the chance (It's finals week). I also have to lose 10 pounds by saturday so I've been running a lot. But I'll do it as soon as I can!

english is also by far my worst subject. And I have to lose weight becuase I'm a wrestler year round. I have a camp starting sunday and I've gained 20 pounds since the school team ended so I need to get back into shape. Lots of fruit for me! haha
edit: I'm off to go get my physical for next year

Well, good luck then.
I was guessing you were good in English based on how you post. I don't recall any blatant spelling or syntax errors - just omissions on capitalization. I have a friend that teaches English at a local community college and she sometimes sends me their term papers .... because they are SO POORLY WRITTEN you can either laugh, or cry. Sometimes we just look at each other and say "what the heck is this kid trying to say?"
