Gotta start somewhere. At least you don't spend much time on garden prep and weeding.

Looks good.

I believe you'll soon discover that those little cages you have around your tomatoes are far to small to offer much support once the vines get going [assuming they are indeterminate varieties].

You're off to a good start.

I have one staked, the grape tomato, I believe the other is a dwarf variety? I hope they get big enough to outgrow the cages! I will have more stakes on standby!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, nosta - I only planned on ONE tomato plant! oops...

I see even more in your future. Gardening can be VERY addictive.

Oh no. Its already happening. I have acquired ANOTHER plant!

That's the "bad" thing about working at a agronomic research center!!

Free plants!
