My tomatoes are now on the balcony... I hope they survive the transplantation

There are three plants, but the one on the left was in a different soil, which obviously was no good, and it's tiny. I don't think it will survive but I planted it anyway, who knows...

I feel a bit ridiculous. As you may see on the second photo, my neighbor's balcony is much greener. And in the gardening shop they had pots with full-grown tomato plants with fruits already on them

But I'm sure those were grown in hothouses, not in a kitchen

they'll be fine (certainly better than mine which haven't even germinated ....)

that is also where they will end their meaningful although brief live of house tomatoes! Very tomatoterian.

Look, oh creatrix, therefore mother of young warrior Anatole, powerful breast muscles he has by the way, what's going on with the house in front. Is it warping? You notice it better on the enlarged view.

I'm sure yours will be OK too, as soon as the weather gets better

Yes, I noticed it too, and I think it's an effect the wide-angle lens. The house looks fine to me

They're looking good. They seem to be clinging to the rope. Did you tie them off, or have you found some magical means to make them do that?

Here is what my garden is looking like today. I'm starting to feel like a farmer!

I think we need to cut the grass today!

Thanks! It's not a rope, those are bamboo sticks (not very straight

) and the plants are tied with raffia strings, you can see them if you look closely.

Sorry, no magic

Darn I was hoping! I haven't tied mine off yet, but the sticks are in place.

Wow, that's an impressive garden. I see the owl is looking the other way, did you have a fight?

I can't do magic gardening yet, I don't have my license. I didn't study very hard

So this time I thought I'd try it the traditional way

He may need to be fed. His motion-sensor batteries are probably running low.

Great work you have done. Eaten something already?

FlorenceArt · 05-22-2010, 02:36 PM

I don't know about Tom, but I'm hungry
