Dollar store on payday!
I know I'm tardy for the party, but I bought a container with dirt and tomato seeds from the Dollar Tree - because I didn't want to invest any more time and $$$$ in seeds, plants, pots, etc. only to have them wilt and die on me.
Anyway,
The seeds sprung up in a week, and after a month, I re-potted the little plants outdoors.
Much to my surprise and delight, the plants are doing great on my back porch! I just put a tomato cage in the big pot, and I'm waiting with the proverbial bated breath for the first lil tomato to pop out.
I'm a city girl to the bone, and the only thing I've ever been able to grow and nurture are Hostas (the easiest plant in the world to grow, right?)
Oh, and I also bought a container of herbs (chives, parsley, dill and basil) and they are doing quite well on the windowsill in my kitchen - also for only $1.
