I spy TOMS!!!!!
I went in to check on these last night. The plant is SOOOO dense that I removed a few of the older leaves. And to my surprise it is fulled with tom toms. I need to get a picture. I will get a picture but later. I have not slept since I woke yesterday. Piper was not feeling well all night and I was up with her and then we had to go to the vet. I have her resting now so I am catching up here and doing a few things before I nap. We have to go back tomorrow for more tests.
Hmmm the tomato queen.
I agree!
Had to terminate this project. Let me just say I had company and the plant broke from the base. It had so many tomatoes too. I WILL be restarting this next week.
Aww. So sorry!
WHAT?!?!? I'm so sorry to hear that. Oh well, stuff happens.
Yeah.. it happens here when I get company.. right @cornne? LOL She knows the history.I m going to replant.
Maybe when you get company you could put your AGs way up high out of reach of visitors? Or temporarily in a closet or cupboard? If your visitor is who I'm guessing it might be!
I would love to but that is not possible. It is in the spare room on a dresser. I am tight on space and outlets.
Oh! THAT visitor!

You have a tomato thumb, Shawn!
HA, we shall see.... they are just beginning. My last one (the AG) started off nice and while I got toms, the plant was also hacked a bit.

The plant has been more to my old version Bounty Elite. Everything else is the same. I will get pictures of my teeny plant soon
