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.

Here are two pictures of my growing tomatoes. These pictures are a few days old (maybe 4 or 5), and the tomatoes have grown a lot since then.

And here is a picture with my hand up to it so you can get some size perspective.

Those in the picture have grown so much since I snapped these photos. I’ll take more pictures once they start to turn red. I have no idea when that will be, but at the rate they are growing, it will be soon. The two plants in that planter have doubled in size since I bought them. At last count, I had six tomatoes growing. Besides that, I have many flowers getting ready to bloom.

And since the flowers are where the tomatoes are going to show up, I’m looking to have a great yield. Which is good because tomatoes are very healthy.

Well, my tomatoes are starting to grow!! I’ve got three little tomatoes sprouting from my plants (2 plants). I’m pretty excited about them. You see, I love tomatoes, and it seems I’ve got a bit of a green thumb, too. Yes, it is probably too early to make such a bold claim, but I’m going to throw it out there any way.

If I think of it tomorrow, I’ll take a few pictures of it and post them here.
