Last year, I tried growning tomatoes. It did work, but I didn't like them where I had them. This year, I cleared out the area and planted petunias the kids gave me for Mother's Day and some alyssum (the little white flowers.) My thought was that it would be a nice way to walk up to the side door. Since I planted alyssum seeds, I didn't want to pull budding plants. So waited a bit to weed it. And discovered a few weeks later that I had petunias, alyssum, and tomato plants. Oh, and weeds. Definitely weeds.
I decided "Oh what the heck, let's see what happens." and left the tomato plants.
Lo and behold - I now have several green tomatoes. So I eased the poor neglected plants into tomato stands. I'm hoping the tomatoes ripen nicely, and then I can make salsa to can with homegrown tomatoes! It is amazing that anything survives in those planter boxes. I neglect them horribly and the soil isn't great. I'm hoping to improve that with my compost.
