My Tomatoes are Coming Along Nicely
Remember when I said I was growing tomatoes as a part of my own education regarding sustainable living? Well, they’re not as hard to grow as some people make them out to be, and they are quite tasty, too.
So far, I’ve had three tomatoes come off of my little container plants. And they were much better tasting than any I’ve bought at a store in recent years. In addition to the food, I learned about care of a tomato plant and how to rid it of leaf fungus. Trials and tribulations indeed.
I’ve been keeping the two plants in good health and they are producing many more tomatoes. A few of them will be ready for harvest in a few days. This gardening thing is kind of fun. From a survival perspective, I now have another sustainable living skill in my toolbox.
You should try it out. You might like it.
Good deal on your tomatoe raising experiment. It has been a very wet year, thus far, in Kansas where I’m at. I have always loved gardening and I believe summer has has finally kicked in, so these sunny and hot days should cause the many green ones still on the vine to ripen quickly. Tomatoes are so versatile and delicious, that I look forward to their ripening. Yum! Good article sir!
Thanks. I’ll get more ambitious next year…either with more tomatoes, or a variety of foods. I kind of enjoy it, and it’s a useful skill to have. So, it’s a win-win.
Cool! Any information given concerning self-preservation and self-sustaining skills (living off the land) are “good things,” especially considering the cost of living these days!
I believe wilderness survival or survival skills in generally (in or out) of society are necessary for an enduring life. I look forward to your future articles concerning growing foods!
And yes, it does take work, but who can put a price on survival and living on what the Lord has given you to survive on?
