They had a little raised pond where they kept aquatic plants and goldfish, it was always such a treat to go there especially in the winter!

Just make sure to always keep them watered and use a cage to hold them up. You won't know if you can grow them until you try! Start off with just one and if you plant one in a pot that is less than 5 gallon size you will have to water daily and use extra fertilizer. It's kind of just luck, one year I had a beautiful huge tomato plant and no tomatoes! :0CraveCutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266646948003488534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-33640148854274306762012-08-02T14:11:31.541-05:002012-08-02T14:11:31.541-05:00LOVE the quote at the bottom and I couldn't ag...LOVE the quote at the bottom and I couldn't agree with you more!

I have been getting just a few for on the table but am looking forward to enjoying lots more. In the summer I eat so many that I begin to look like one.

I am thinking of buying plant stands with wheels and keeping them up on the deck next year, that way if it's threatening to hail, I can move them under the end that's covered. You are oh so right about the special quality of homegrown tomatoes.
