Four Where To Blocks

 

January 7, 2020, I started six tomato plants from seed in my kitchen window. Those six plants are still right there, in a hydroponic garden whose lights turn on at 6:00 a.m. and off at ten. I feed them every two weeks and add a little water now and then. I prune them back from time to time, so they don’t take over the kitchen. I harvest at least a dozen sweet cherry tomatoes every week, all year long. In a few weeks I’ll set more tomato plants out in pots on my deck. When those start to produce, I’ll probably clean out my indoor garden and make a fresh start, because there are signs that my 465-day-old tomato plants have nearly had it. I might try an herb garden this time, or Romaine lettuce or chili peppers. I could fill my window with pink and purple petunias. Or I may just plant more tomatoes. I do love tomatoes.
