Last summer I created a kitchen garden, growing a handful of herbs and variety of lettuce. I consciously selected organic plants and dirt, keeping my ingredients whole. This year I decided to take it up a notch.
Three weeks ago I purchased organic seeds for a colorful variety of heirloom tomatoes, lovingly sewed them into fresh dirt and placed them in my bedroom windowsill. To my delight, they’ve prospered, peaking from the earth and growing more than two inches in one week. But now I am victim of my own success–dozens more tomato seedlings than I can fit in my planters! Apparently I got so carried away with the variety of licopene-laden options that I planted more seeds than I can manage at my yard-less home.
Lucky for me my sister is a tomato lover with empty raised planter boxes. Plus I’ve got a few other ideas up my sleeve. Do you need a few tomato plants?
