    Growth/Pic Update 1 Tomato 'Sweet Million' (C) and Sunny Balcony garden
    This is my first tomato grown from seed (sorta like baking a cake from scratch instead of a mix, I love it!). One raceme is about bloomed out, with fruit appearing on each pedicel for a total of 17 tomatoes. Another raceme has now split with three distinct end points and a total of about 37 flo...

    A day without coffee Coffee and Indoor Early Start garden
    I woke up this morning to spreading mold, so I have decided to start this project over so that I can better control the hygiene and, my hope, the spread of mold. It was only 12 days into a possible 75 day germination, so not really to much of a loss. Oh, and what I thought might be sign of germi...
