Gotchya! I will have to resize next time.
And thank you for the compliments. I am so happy that I am learning how to do this stuff finally.
A funny side note, my fiance kills all
plants that she touches. She walked out and picked up the strawberry
plant container on the far right (still attached via runner) and the new roots ripped right out of the soil. She reiterated that she kills all
plants and will probably avoid the porch for a month. I will have to do something nice for her.
The fish tank
greenhouse grows that thing like crazy. $10 for a 10 gallon tank at a pet store. Works great!
As for the tomatoes, I thought I read about it here, so I hate taking any credit, but this is what I did.
1) Went to the dollar store and got a plastic bucket.
2) Took a utility knife and cut a hole about the size of a tennis ball in the bottom. (note I grew these guys from a rotten tomato that fell in the dirt and just started
growing, so there are actually 3 tomato
plants competing in that bucket)
3) Place the
plant(s), which are a few weeks old, out of their container and into the bottom of the bucket.
4) Fill with dirt.
5) Hang in a sunny place, and tada!
I actually have another one
growing from the top of the bucket too. There is an awful lot of dirt in there, so I thought why not. The hardest thing for me is finding a permanent place to hang it. The apt roof is not suitable for drilling into, so I have to get creative.
